The All-Star Weekend is here and now we can turn our serious basketball brains off, focusing on the people in the game and the reasons why we love it. In the spirit of this, The Athletic’s duo of Joe Vardon and Jason Lloyd, who both covered LeBron extensively during his second run in Cleveland, unloaded a wealth of old LeBron stories for readers heading into the weekend. They covered LeBron’s card-shark skills but Tristan Thompson let people in on some details about how the King eats.
According to LeBron’s former Cleveland teammate, James has a sugary breakfast basically every day while also having dessert after “every meal.”
He eats desserts with every meal. He’ll come with his one-week diet, vegan crap, but he literally eats like it doesn’t make sense. He’s really a specimen. He eats like [expletive]. I remember one year I tried to eat like he ate and it just didn’t work out. I started gaining weight and said, “[Expletive] this.” I mean it works for him. He loves sweets. He loves sweets. He eats desserts and French toast. It’s crazy how his body just burns it.
James talks often about how much he takes care of his body, but when you workout like he does, I guess you are entitled to more desserts than the rest of us regular humans.
