As he starts the 22nd season of his NBA career, LeBron James is entering a new realm. He is not only becoming the second player to play into their 22nd season, behind Vince Carter, but he is also performing at a very high level. King James’s longevity is demonstrated by the fact that his son is currently a teammate.
Even if it’s a noble goal, not everyone can achieve it. Season each season, LeBron’s body requires a lot of work to sustain. Andre Drummond said he was astounded by LBJ’s work ethic in his interview on the Run Your Race podcast.
In 2021, Drummond has the chance to play with LeBron for the Lakers. The four-time NBA champion is a true workaholic, according to the 31-year-old. He works on his body nonstop and nonstop. The thing that shocked Drummond the most was seeing King James working on his body while eating lunch or conversing with his peers.
Andre Drummond speaks about LeBron James being his inspiration
Drummond’s perspective on how he worked on himself was altered by being around what is undoubtedly one of the best players of all time. He understood that he would need to do far more than he was used to in order to be anywhere close to the discussions with LeBron.
He said : “The dude is a workaholic…He’s always doing something. When we’re not practicing, this motherf***er is on a foam roller, he’s rolling out, having a conversation. We’re at lunch, this n***a is rolling his feet out. We’re playing cards and this n***a is getting a massage. I’m like, god damn, could you relax? And he’s like, ‘No, I’ve got to preserve the body.”
After that, Drummond began questioning LeBron in accordance with his program. He learned the amount of work required to be LeBron James in the sports world. He was also aware of how much money is invested to ensure LeBron’s constant health.
