The secret to LeBron James’ longevity is that he takes care of his body probably better than anyone else in the NBA. LeBron spends millions to make sure he stays in the best possible shape, and he ensures that he only consumes what is in the best interests of his body.
He was recently spotted at a Summer League game where he opted to bring some food from his home instead of having anything from the arena, and the person responsible for that might have been Dena Marino. Marino and James go back a long way, from around his time with the Miami Heat, and she has been the private chef for the James household since 2017. She recently put out a post on Twitter, asking if people preferred peach, plum, or nectarine, and LeBron responded to the question not long after.
Nectarine 🍑

He is clearly a nectarine man by the looks of it, which might surprise a few. The two of them evidently share a great working relationship, and LeBron has in the past lavished praise on Marino, as he stated her Carbonara was one of his favorites.
A proper healthy diet is one of the keys to success, and Marino has done a fine job at that end to help out the King, who is now entering his 20th season in the NBA. No one could have ever imagined that a player could be as good as LeBron has been after all the mileage on his body, and while he deserves the majority of the credit for it, these guys around him have performed their roles ably as well.
Still, the end is in sight for the King as Father Time remains undefeated, but he’ll try to fight it off as long as he can as he continues his quest to win another championship and share the court with his son Bronny James, who is still a couple of years away from entering the league.
