LeBron James has gone viral on social media yet again, but, for once, it’s not because of his play on the court or any of his antics off it. An old picture of James’ feet recently resurfaced on X, and it has spread like wildfire on the social media platform.

The picture first surfaced online back in 2013, and you’d assume it was taken around that time. You do wonder with LeBron having played for over 10 years since then, how much worse shaped his feet might have gotten. Considering he reportedly spends about $1 million on his body yearly, James might have even had some treatment done on them since then.
Even if they still do look the same or are worse, that hasn’t stopped James from dominating on the court for the Los Angeles Lakers. The 39-year-old is averaging 24.9 points, 7.3 rebounds, 7.6 assists, 1.3 steals, and 0.6 blocks per game this season, and isn’t really showing signs of slowing down.

A fan thinks this is what happens when you keep playing through injuries over the years.
That’s the outcome of “tape it up and go man” 🙈

We have seen other athletes who spent years at the top level have feet somewhat like these. LeBron’s former teammate Shaquille O’Neal once shared what his feet look like, and it was not a pretty sight.

With how much pressure gets put on that big toe, in particular, for basketball players, it perhaps isn’t all that surprising that their feet don’t look great. At the end of the day, though, they played the sport they love and made millions in the process, so they won’t be losing too much sleep over what their feet look like.
