"If anyone is deserving of breaking the ironman record, I would say LeBron James is. Because he takes such good care of himself. His approach to fitness and what he puts into his body reflects, or mirrors, how I felt about my fitness and what I ate, how I took care of myself."
"It's not something I set out to do. The one thing that I've always had in my mind is that you can't be a leader and you can't practice what you preach if you're not available to your teammates. And I've always kind of just prided myself on trying to be as available as possible in my career to my teammates."
LeBron James reached a historic milestone by tying Robert Parish's all-time games played record of 1,611 games during a Lakers-Heat matchup in Miami. Despite playing in Houston the previous night, traveling cross-country, arriving at his hotel at 5 a.m., and receiving treatment for his arthritic left foot throughout the day, the 41-year-old suited up for the game. Parish, who set the record in 1996 and retired with 1,611 games, expressed approval of James potentially breaking it, citing James' exceptional dedication to fitness and self-care. James emphasized that his focus has always been on maintaining availability to his teammates rather than chasing individual records.
