LeBron James doesn't look like he's 40!
Fans Still Believe in LeBron James, 40, After Seeing Latest Photo originally appeared on Athlon Sports.
LeBron James is set to return for his 23rd season in the NBA. What's not clear, however, is if he will be with the Los Angeles Lakers when the 2025-26 season starts.
After James picked up his $52.6 million player option with the Lakers, his agent and good friend Rich Paul made it clear that the 40-year-old star "wants to compete for a championship" and "values a realistic chance of winning it all."
The statement fueled speculation that James would ask for a trade if the Lakers fail to build a legitimate title contender around him and Luka Doncic.
Since then, the Cleveland Cavaliers, Dallas Mavericks and Golden State Warriors have been linked with James in a possible trade or buyout.
Amid the rumors, however, the four-time NBA MVP is keeping his focus on preparing his body for the rigors of another grueling campaign. On Sunday, James posted a mirror photo of himself showing off his ripped physique.
Several fans couldn't help but be in awe of how well LeBron James has taken care of his body, even at this point in his life and career.
"LeBron James is in ridiculous shape," a fan account posted. Another one shared, "When is he never in great shape?"
"Dude built like a Greece God , pause lol," a third follower shared.

Several other fans expressed their belief that James still has what it takes to dominate in the NBA.
"League is shaking," a fan remarked. Another supporter added, "Bron still being in better shape than 98% of the league isn’t only embarrassing for the young boys but for Adam Silver. You keep trying to push big dawg out the way when he really the blueprint to get [expletive] done."
"Year 23 loading.." a poster further stated.
