American football and basketball are two of the sports that put the most physical strain on an athlete’s body. Because of this, there are never more than 400 players in the NBA at any one time. Although there are many of talented people in the world who could never make it to the NBA, their bodies are just not built to handle the demands of the game. Because of this, any athlete that is regarded as a superstar is probably one because of their longevity.

LeBron James is the only athlete in the world right now to have maintained his prime longer than any other. LeBron and his group have disclosed that he spends $1.5 million year on physical maintenance. Over the course of a season, players suffer a wide range of injuries as a result of the fast-paced nature of the NBA. Nevertheless, LeBron has avoided injuries that may have ended his career, a testament to his methodical commitment to physical recuperation. To help with his recuperation, he makes use of equipment like NormaTec leg boots and hyperbaric chambers. 

Other sports athletes are starting to do the same. NFL great Russell Wilson, who is having a historic season right now, has also made significant investments in cryotherapy and hyperbaric chambers as recovery methods. It’s obvious that LeBron’s dedication to making investments in his physical health has served as a model for other outstanding sportsmen in various leagues.
