LeBron James, the NBA star and one of the most famous athletes in the world, has constantly proved his worth. But the NBA star has now found himself in a controversy due to a groin injury he had sustained at the match against the Boston Celtics a few days ago. Amidst the trolling he has received, NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal has now spoken about LeBron James on his podcast.
Shaquille O’Neal Talks About LeBron James, How He Maintains Himself And What Has Helped The NBA Star
In a recent episode of Shaquille O’Neal’s podcast, The Big Podcast with Shaq, the topic of discussion was LeBron James’ legacy.
Shaquille O’Neal said, “It’s less physical and he’s always done this [run around] his whole career, he’s never really done that [throw elbows]. The fact that it’s less physical definitely helps him.”
Shaquille O’Neal also spoke about how LeBron James has always known to take care of his health and has "always played at a certain level".
Shaquille O’Neal continued, “I would’ve broken Kareem’s record; I would’ve been done; I would’ve been at hookah bars every week. I think he’s trying to get that 50,000 mark now. He’s very close, so he’s doing things that will never be broken.”
LeBron James is considered to be one of the most gifted athletes across the league. The NBA star recently turned 40 in December 2024 but he continues to work hard at his skills.
For the unversed, in this season, the NBA star LeBron James is averaging at 8.5 assists per game, 8.2 rebounds and 25 points.
For the time being, LeBron James is recovering from his groin injury and has not been able to play in the last few matches for his team, the Los Angeles Lakers. It has also not been confirmed when the NBA star will be able to return to the game.
While there are reports of the groin injury that LeBron James sustained at the match against the Boston Celtics, he was also spotted cheering on his son at the state championship game, a few days ago. Many fans are suspicious about the extent of his injury but LeBron James has not addressed such speculations yet.
