So it’s not surprising that when a fan on Reddit asked others what they would do first if they woke up as LeBron James, the answers were incredibly interesting. 

LeBron James’ athleticism is what sets him apart. One fan wants to know what it would feel like, writing, “Probably throw down an iconic Lebron tomahawk dunk just to see how it feels after having some nice breakfast.”

Another wrote, “I could still dunk just with his body and athleticism. That’s enough for me. I’ve always wanted to dunk.”

It’s a popular thought, and another fan put it even more simply, writing, “Dunk. I’ve always wanted to dunk.”

LeBron James’ skills on the court are no joke, but he’s built an empire off the court and become a billionaire. There were some comments about that too. 

One fan wrote, “Retire and enjoy his money. I deserve it.”

Another took it a step further, saying, “Transfer money into my account and sign some letter saying that I am of sound mind and body.”

Another fan even had a number in mind, writing, “Transfer $10M to my family and turn back into myself.”

One fan wanted more money too, saying, “Have my accountant wire $20M to my original body’s bank account. Then have the best lawyers in the country write up an ironclad statement that I did this completely out of my own volition.”

One fan didn’t just want the money, he had it more fleshed out than that. He wrote, “Transferring money to my real account, and going on First Take to go at Stephen A Smith, with the rest of the day, go dunk on people at Venice Beach.”

While a lot of these are making the most of everything LeBron James has built, comments were trolling him as well. 


NBA Fans Trolled LeBron James In Response To The Question

The GOAT debate is a massive part of today’s NBA discourse. For most fans though, Michael Jordan still rightfully comes out ahead of LeBron James. So naturally, some answers were trolling him about that. 

Some fans would rather be Michael Jordan, as this comment states, “Go back to sleep and hope I wake up as Jordan.”

Another fan suggested something similar, writing, ‘Surprised no one said: “Go on record and declare MJ as the GOAT’ yet.”

One fan had a plan of action all mapped out, writing, “I would post on all my social media accounts that the 2020 bubble ring was a fraud and didn’t count. I would then call up MJ and admit that he is the true GOAT.”

These weren’t all the comments either, there were references to various other key moments from LeBron James’ career. 

One fan wrote, “I would call Skip Bayless and tell him I am coming in Monday for an exclusive 1-hour interview… Let Skip promote it, and then never show up and deny ever talking to him.”

A fan hilariously detailed what he would have for breakfast, saying, “I’ll go with an omelet with cheese, green peppers, tomatoes imported from Italy, and steak. I’ll have a couple of pancakes on the side and a strawberry-based veggie smoothie. LeBron needs lots of calories so I can take advantage.”

LeBron James’ 2016 NBA championship is his crowning achievement and one fan said he’d mess with that: “Tweeting that 2016 was rigged just to f**k with people.”

One person wanted to do some charity too, writing, “Donate a lot of money to a lot of people LeBron doesn’t know.”

The possibilities of being LeBron James are endless, but the fans seem to have covered several bases in response to this epic question. 


A Day In LeBron James’ Life Wouldn’t Be As Fun As It Sounds

LeBron James being the face of the NBA and a business mogul means his lifestyle is anything but idyllic. His exercise and diet are built around maximizing his longevity and likely aren’t what someone would describe as fun. 

He has many responsibilities that come with being one of the world’s well-known athletes, along with the responsibilities that come with being a father to three children. 

The fact that LeBron James can function normally with all the demands on his time and continue to be a champion player at 38 years of age is a true testament to his greatness. The man is as unique a specimen as they come.

As Michael Jordan once told Arnold Schwarzenegger’s ex-wife, being your idol for a day isn’t enough to help one understand what their life is like. For fans to truly have the LeBron James experience they would need to be him for a lot longer than just a day.
