LeBron James sat down with Rachel Nichols recently and admitted that he shed some pounds this summer to allow himself to be in the best possible shape for his return to Cleveland.
After cutting out all grains, dairy, sugar, soy and alcohol from his diet, James is a new man. James admits the diet came with a cost.
During the candid conversation with Nichols, James admitted that “he dreamed about pancakes, and says he had nightmares that the cookie monster was chasing him.”
What was the hardest thing to give up?
It was either pancakes or chocolate chip cookies and ice cream.
Did you go to bed dreaming of pancakes that you could not have?
What? All the time. I had the cookie monster chasing me a few times in my dreams.
Are you quicker on the court now?
I am. I am. And that’s not such a good thing for the competition.
James sit down with Nichols will be shown in its entirety on Friday at 10:30 p.m. ET.
