At 41 years of age, LeBron James makes it a point to keep a healthy lifestyle so he can keep on playing for as long as he can. However, NBA fans poke fun at the four-time NBA champion following his recent confession.
In the recent episode of his Mind the Game Podcast with Steve Nash, james said he already gave up eating chocolate chip cookies to improve his health.
“I had to sacrifice something, actually two things that I love: drinking wine and chocolate chip cookies for dessert. I completely took it out,” James said.
It sounded simple enough — trim the extras, stay sharp. NBA fans had other ideas.

@P_R_I_N_C_E_25 joked, “LeBron acting like chocolate chip cookies were the only thing standing between him and a 5th ring.”
@ArnoldBrowny flipped it into motivation: “If cutting out chocolate chip cookies makes you the GOAT, sign me up for a cookie-free life too.”
James is in season No. 23, territory no one’s really touched before. Still, with his streak of 1,297 straight games scoring at least one point now over, some NBA fans are quietly wondering how long the run can stretch.
“I wonder if LeBron can point to Gaza on a map”: NBA fans compare LeBron James to Kyrie Irving on stances on Israel
All-Star Weekend brought another wave of discourse. After the game, James was asked about Israel.
“I’ve never been over there, but I’ve heard great things,” he said.
The short answer sparked long threads. Some NBA fans contrasted it with Kyrie Irving’s past comments on Palestine.
@AdameMedia posted, “When Lebron James bitched out, Kyrie Irving showed what a real man looks like. Kyrie faced intense criticism after showing his support for Palestine, but he stood tall. That’s the difference between a coward and a king.”
@goldie07391895 added, “I wonder if LeBron can point to Gaza on a map…or Lebanon…defending a terrorist stolen colony he knows nothing about.”
@RektByDrGooner wrote, “ LeBron James is a freemason, he is obliged to protect his jewish bosses.”
Not everyone leaned extreme. @HoskyWatcher shared, “In the Twitter kingdom everyone wants a crown. Props to Kyrie for speaking out, but real leadership is more than bravado. Pressure, nuance and how you engage the issue matter more than who gets labeled king or coward.”
From diet tweaks to geopolitics, NBA fans continue to turn every LeBron comment into a full-blown debate.
