LeBron James is gearing up for another NBA season-and, at 40 years old, he shows no signs of slowing down.
The Lakers star recently took to Instagram to give fans a glimpse of his preseason training, proving that his work ethic is as strong as ever.
In one clip, reshared by Bleacher Report, James performs a sumo stance squat with a barbell, holding it low in front of his body.
A couple weeks ago, he posted a carousel of photos with a caption seemingly aimed at critics: "Say whatever you want but you damn sure won't be able to say I didn't put in the WORK!! . We'll see what happens when I no longer exist. Man F this Shhhhhh."
The first several photos show James performing lower-body mobility drills, lat pulldowns, and back squats in the gym, followed by shots of him on the court shooting hoops and interacting with his teammates.
Another post, shared by Chris Johnson, shows James flying around the court, appearing as dominant and explosive as ever. Fans quickly noticed his trimmer frame and seemingly ageless athleticism.
"Bron is really like a Gen 3 Toyota 4Runner them thangs last forever," Marcelas Howard commented.
"Master Class on longevity," rapper Lecrae commented.
"Bro not retiring till he's 50," another user commented.
The Lakers open their preseason at home on October 3 against the Arizona Suns, with the regular season starting on October 21 against the Golden State Warriors, also at home.
If his recent training clips are any indication, James is determined to dominate another season.
