LeBron James reveals his NBA ‘secret’: c.80 a season
When you’ve been at the top of the game for two decades, every little decision you make is of interest.


LeBron James is looking ahead to his 23rd season in the NBA and it’s fair to say he’s still firing, despite his age. He’s already the leading scorer of all-time and passed the milestone of 50,000 points last season.
In this past year, with fresh blood injected into the Los Angeles Lakers team in the shape of Luka Doncic, even more was, and is, expected, as The King continues to perform. And maybe one of the secrets to his success and longevity lies in the pristine nature of his sneakers, and especially their snugness on his feet.
“I can’t wear the same pair of shoes two games in a row,” the great man said in April." And when asked why he replied with a simple reason, “I don’t like my shoes loose.”
