James has played high-level basketball for 23 seasons and is in incredible shape. The Los Angeles Lakers superstar has logged the most minutes of any player in NBA history, also scoring the most points.
While he takes excellent care of his body, it has gone through unavoidable wear and tear over the years. A post shared to X by the Hoops account on Monday shows the player’s feet in terrible condition.
“Yes, some people laugh just by looking at his feet, but the truth? these feet are the result of 23 year DOMINANCE,” it adds. “The same feet that gave LeBron 4 NBA Championships, 4 Finals MVPs.
“LeBron out here dropping 30+ with feet that look like they survived a hydraulic press, Man’s playing basketball on borrowed toes 💀💀,” one fan joked.
“Those feet look like they’ve been through more wars than his Finals record. Dominance built on excuses and ice baths. MJ played in actual leather bricks and his toes still look normal 🤷♂️,” another claimed.
Officially, LeBron James isn’t known to have developed any foot defects. But his long and illustrious NBA career has taken a toll on his limbs.
Despite all of this, the four-time MVP is one of the most durable stars in league history. As mentioned above, no one else has played more minutes than him ever.
Whether the photo is real or not, one thing is certain: 23 years of NBA basketball leaves marks. LeBron James has given his body to the game, and if his feet look like that.
