In the Western Conference finals, I was deeply impressed by James' game against Nuggets. He sprained his ankle during the game, just when people thought James might need to rest or heal. Only a minute later, he returned to the stadium and presented two wonderful buttons for the fans. This kind of physical quality is really admirable.
James, 36, can still play a dominant role, mainly because he can take good care of his body. Su Qun, a famous commentator in China, once said that James needs to spend $654.38 million+$5,000 on physical maintenance every year. For many ordinary people, this money is impossible to earn in a lifetime, but it is only the maintenance cost of James for one year. So what did James do with this 1.5 million?
Athletes want to stay at their peak, so they need to pay special attention to their diet. James also attaches great importance to private chefs. James's personal chef's name is marino, and he will strictly follow James's diet plan and supplement all kinds of energy. It is reported that James paid marino an annual salary of 500,000-600,000 US dollars, accounting for 1/3 of the maintenance cost.
The second expense is mainly on James' personal trainer. His name is Mike. Originally a trainer for the Cavaliers, he was hired as James' personal coach in the Lakers because of his good relationship with James. He will arrange training, sleep and recovery for James reasonably, with an annual salary of several hundred thousand dollars.
The third point is the preparation of ingredients and equipment. The money to be spent this year is probably hundreds of thousands.
Although the salaries of NBA players are rising, there are not many players like James who spend1500,000 yuan a year to maintain their health. This shows how much James attaches importance to his physical maintenance, and it is precisely because he is strict with himself that he can still maintain a high level of play at the age of 36.
