“LeBron James, Where’s Your Birth Certificate?”: Dwyane Wade Hilariously Went At A Young James For Icing Himself

LeBron James is undoubtedly one of the most durable athletes North American sports has ever witnessed. The reasoning behind this is the fact that he takes an immense amount of care for his body. So much so that Dwyane Wade couldn’t believe that Bron in his 20s was icing himself as much as he was.

Wade and James came into the league in the same 2003 NBA Draft with the latter being picked 5^th by the Miami Heat. They never met one another in the Playoffs but did eventually get to compete with each other for a championship when ‘The King’ made the decision to take his talents to South Beach.

Both superstars had Finals experience at this point with Wade winning a title in 2006 alongside Shaquille O’Neal and LeBron having gotten swept by the Spurs in 2007. They were friends off the court and that bond only strengthened after they became teammates.

Dwyane Wade goes at LeBron James for icing himself

It was clear that LeBron James and Dwyane Wade had an incredible deal of chemistry with one another. During their first season together, Wade would bust James’ balls over still being in his 20s and icing himself all over his body, including his knees and his elbows.

“Yo, what are you doing? What is all that? You got all that ice on like you 35. Look at all this ice he got on man. Where’s your birth certificate at? I get to figure out how much he weighs, how old he really is now that we’re teammates,” said Wade to the cameras about his newest teammate.

James was actually quite smart for icing himself. Prior to the start of the 2010-11 season, he had already played in 548 games, excluding the strenuous games that the Playoffs brought about each year.

LeBron James spends millions on his body

The reason for why LeBron James is able to play at a high level even at age 38, in his 20^th season in the NBA is because he has spent millions of dollars on his body. He spends well over $1 million on keeping his body fit.

This includes personal trainers, personal chefs, his own state-of-the art gym, and various technologies designed to help him recover quicker. There have been conflicting reports on his diet over the years, with some claiming he even went keto for a couple months while Tristan Thompson said James eats desserts all the time.
