LeBron James’s stunning career is self-explanatory as he made his name among the elites in the NBA while being the Greatest of All Time for many fans and sports analysts. Obviously, it would be a mammoth task to get closer to what James has achieved throughout his career in the league. The basketball legend, however, is under speculation as former Warriors star Gilbert Arenas suspects that he is not a human but a man-made machine, perhaps, straight out of Elon Musk’s robotic factory.

Gilbert Arenas says LeBron James is not a human


Former NBA star Gilbert Arenas is known for his playful jabs pointing at different athletes in the league. This time, the former Warriors star has targeted none other than LeBron James. The LA Lakers star has returned after missing two games due to a left foot injury, as he returned, James led his team to a 116-110 win over the Memphis Grizzlies. Reflecting on the prowess and skills on the court event at the age of 39, Arenas joked about James saying that he could very well be a robot.
“We gotta thank Elon Musk,” Arenas said of James jokingly suspecting him. “Robot… He [LeBron] had to go down to the Tesla… Get them batteries recharged,” Arenas continued his humor-dense praise.

“Y’all seen him running right, jumping… I had to hit him like, yo, yo, yo… You can’t come back on day one with the new battery charge, brother. You got a limp a little or something,” he added.
Certainly, James has a very little break in his race to claim more stunning stats to his resume. He has made his case strong throughout his career and made claiming the legendary status.
In his recent game against the Grizzlies, he scored 18 points, 8 rebounds, and 8 assists and that was surprising for Arenas as he made the scoreboard go high just after returning from the injury.

Currently, the Lakers legend averages 22.5 points, 7.9 rebounds, and 9.0 assists— certainly an appealing state for the legend which many would envy.
As per a report by ESPN’s Dave McMenamin, it was revealed that James was not up for the rest but his team insisted on his recovery. “If it was up to just me, I probably would’ve played. It would’ve been hard to keep me away from it,” the Lakers veteran said of his recent injury.
Returning to the team, James shared, “I had an opportunity to take more days and get my mind, body, and everything where I wanted it to be for tonight. And it worked out.”

He went on to add, “I did a lot of rehabbing, a lot of training still to make sure that I was ready to go tonight. Didn’t want to get too much out of shape.”
Of course, he is still his his good shape as he is on a streak of adding high scores on the board for the team.
