When participating in the podcast "Mind the Game", James talked about multiple aspects when asked how he stayed in shape.

First point: Extreme eating habits

James publicly stated that his first meal every day usually takes 1:00 or 2:00 p.m.

He said: "I either drink some vegetable juice or eat some fruit or anything, but I must wait until after the training to eat the first meal, usually around 1 or 2 pm."

Nash asked if he was deliberately arranged his diet like this, or if he didn't like to eat before training, and James made it clear that it was the former.

James bluntly said that he would not take artificial supplements like creatine, but would only eat natural things like vitamins.

Third point: Denied spending millions of maintenance per year

James publicly denied on the show that he spent more than $1 million a year to maintain his body, but admitted that he had spent a lot of energy on exercising.

The fourth point: Hydrating + sleeping

The last point is that James said it is hydrating and sleeping. James' nutritionist has also talked about this publicly, bluntly saying that replenishing moisture at any time is very important for athletes.

It is worth mentioning that during the recording of the show, James also brought a large bucket of water to drink, which is enough to prove the authenticity of this.

Point 5: Hard training

This has always been one of the public secrets for James to stay in shape. When James was asked about knee injury recovery training in the show, he said that during the knee injury recovery, he was still insisting on training in his upper body.

Previously, Cook's voice on the Inner Court program can also prove this. He said that when the team's training started at 10 o'clock, he arrived early at 6:30, but he saw that James was already sweating all over.

As teammates, Curry and Cole also publicly praised and lamented James' training efforts while playing for Team USA.
