Danny Green used a hilarious analogy to illustrate how busy LeBron James is in his daily life.
LeBron James is the defining NBA superstar of this generation and maybe even the previous one given he’s entering Year 21. In his 21-year NBA career, James has risen to the top as one of the greatest players and businessman the league has seen.

Former Lakers’ and Cavaliers’ teammate Danny Green appeared on Theo Pinson’s ‘Run Your Race’ Podcast and opened up on exactly how busy LeBron can be in his daily life.
“His day is so structured, I don’t think he can take a sh*t in peace. He’s so used to everything being timed, it must be like, ‘I got two minutes, let me take a sh*t’. It’s routine… He’s got so much to do, in season or out of the season. Kids, commercial shoots, appearances… He doesn’t have the time to relax or take a sh*t.”
The responsibilities LeBron has carried on his shoulder for the last two decades is incredible to think about. Not only did he have one of the best careers on the court that we’ve ever seen, but he also excelled in the business world at the same time to become a billionaire as an active player.
You can’t be wasting away free time and have this level of success, that is for sure.
LeBron James Has Built An Incredible Portfolio
The biggest partner LeBron has had in his career, similar to Michael Jordan, is Nike. LeBron signed a $87 million guaranteed shoe contract for seven years before he made his NBA debut with Nike. In 2015, the deal became a lifetime contract that was worth $1 billion and is the largest contract handed out to an athlete from any sports brand.
James reportedly earns $75 million annually from endorsements that he does for brands like Ruffles, AT&T, Beats, and many more. James was an investor in Beats and received a hefty payout when the audio company was purchased by Apple.
LeBron has had some masterstroke investments to brag about already, with Blaze Pizza being one of them. The other was a stake in Liverpool F.C. of the English Premier League. James saw his stake in Liverpool rise dramatically as they became English and European champions with James as a minority owner. He’s since sold that stake to become a 1% owner in Liverpool’s parent company, Fenway Sports Group.
James is reportedly worth a billion dollars, only the second NBA player to ever reach that valuation and the first to do so as an active player.
LeBron James Works Hard On Maintaining His Body
All of LeBron’s time isn’t spent making business deals happen. His primary job is still that of being a basketball player, something James works tirelessly on to this day to ensure he can be healthy and dominate the NBA despite 21 prior seasons under his belt.
James reportedly spends millions to ensure he is in shape, be it from a cook who makes food according to a highly structured diet to the recovery machines he has like his personal hyperbaric chamber to deal with inflammation. James goes out of his way to keep playing at the highest level of the sport.
He deserves some time to kick back and likely uses the first month of the offseason to do so. But a new NBA season is upon us and James will be looking to deliver on championship expectations for the Lakers this year.
