These extreme lengths that James, 31, will go to keep his body in shape for the relentless grind of the NBA season have been revealed by US sports columnist Bill Simmons on his podcast.

Simmons said: “LeBron spends like $1.5 million a year on his body. He’s replicated all the equipment they have in the team’s gym in his house. He has two trainers. Everywhere he goes, he has a trainer with him.

“I’m paraphrasing what he told me, so I might not be getting all these facts right, (but) he’s got chefs. He has all the science of how to sleep. All these different things. Masseuses. Everything he does in his life is constructed to have him play basketball and to stay on the court and to be as healthy as possible and to absorb punishment when he goes into the basket — and he gets crushed by people.”
