Whatever LeBron James is doing to stay physically and mentally strong entering his 22nd NBA season is working—and people are taking note. In a new Netflix docuseries, Starting 5, about the lives of five of the league’s dominant figures through the 2023-24 season, reporters commented that the now 39-year-old, four-time NBA champion is only getting better with age. “I’m surprised at myself at this point,” James says in the series.
“I’m not tired ...
my dedication to my work I think is a huge part of the reason why I am still able to play at this level.” In 2016, it was reported that the NBA star spends $1.5 million on his body each year, according to Bill Simmons, who had spoken to a confidant and shared it on his podcast.
James addressed the statement directly in the docuseries, neither confirming nor denying the investment. “I’ve heard this crazy notion about how much money I spend on my body each year. I kind of just chuckle.
That is a number that I will not disclose, but, more importantly, I think it’s just the time,” James says, who credits his lengthy professional career to his dedication and the time he spends on his rigorous biohacking routine. “He is pushing the limits of what a player’s prime is considered,” says NBA reporter Dave McMenamin in the series on how the all-star has become one of very few to make it to GOAT status for the long haul. What is LeBron James’ biohacking routine? On game days, James will wake up around 6:30 a.
