James's salary in the NBA is 40 million+ a year, even if he deducts various taxes to get 20 million is not running. A salary of 20 million a year, not counting the off-the-counter income, is simply too high, and it is indeed very enviable. But everyone should be clear, no one in the NBA can succeed casually, after all, taking 40 million is a minority, only superstars will have this value. James has today's position, that is really not easy, that is self-discipline + hard work in exchange, he has everything on his own efforts to fight, including 40 million high salary. Especially after looking at these 5 photos, you may not be envious.
James's beard was all gray like this, which was certainly not normal. 37 years old is considered prime in ordinary people, and athletes are old. James usually pays attention to the maintenance of the body, why the beard is so gray, that is caused by overdraft of the body. After 19 years of high-intensity competition and various training sessions every day, James has long been left with occupational diseases, and the early graying of his beard is just one of the signs.
Everyone loves good food, but James has to refuse it a lot of times when faced with food. In order to maintain his state, he once did not eat pork for 8 consecutive years, and he was afraid of all kinds of high sugar, and he ate nutritious meals. Nutritious meals are certainly not delicious, the taste is almost nothing, and the variety is also small, every day to turn over and over there are so many, want to eat like ordinary people, for the current James, that is a luxury.
James played with all his might, saying he was playing with his waist crossed, it was just black for black.'s He used his feet well every time, and in such a long-term high-intensity environment, his toes were already deformed. We see that James' toes have become very weird, that's the price of playing, and to get back to normal, it's only surgery.
Training is boring, but if you want to improve, you have to train. The offseason is a time when many stars rest, but for James, that's the toughest phase. He needs to resist a lot of temptations and then stick to training, which he once revealed himself in the offseason, training almost every day at 4 a.m. It seems that it is not only Kobe Bryant who trains in the early morning, but also James. Most of us were still asleep at 4 a.m., and James was already training, and we couldn't feel his hard work.
Injuries can not be completely avoided, James is strong enough to resist injuries, but the same is scarred. There were also dozens of large and small injuries all over his body, especially after the groin strain, and the injuries became frequent. Now he is also fighting against injuries, and every injury stop is a torment. No matter how strong James is, he is not a machine, and these injuries will definitely have an impact on his life after he retires.
