One of these days, the wheels will fall off for LeBron James, the ageless Los Angeles Lakers superstar in his 21st NBA season. The veteran has his secrets when it comes to keeping his body fresh during his long career, and he revealed one of them on the second episode of his new podcast, Mind the Game with JJ Redick. His wife, Savannah James, might not be thrilled that he shared their intimate habit with the world.

How Savannah James helps LeBron stay young

“I was explaining it to my wife the other day. She asked me how am I feeling when I came home after the game,” LeBron told his co-host, JJ Redick.

This is what he told his wife: “Just imagine buying a 2003 Escalade and it’s 2024 and you’ve never changed the tires.”

“So rub my feet please,” he said in a tone that was more of a demand than a suggestion.

It’s the painful reality for The Kid from Akron who has racked up over 70,000 career minutes on, as he put it, “the same tires from 2003.”

Beyond just foot rubs, Savannah is undeniably a factor in LeBron’s longevity. The stability and love in their relationship, passed on through their children Bronny, Bryce and Zhuri, has given James the foundation at home to go out every day and become the best at his craft.

LeBron, 39, hopes to play with Bronny in the NBA some day, but it’s going to take a few more foot rubs to get his wobbly old tires that far down the road.
