NBA Players: 3 LeBron James traits that set him apart from the rest

#2 Superhuman yet mature work ethic

Until last season, James did not know what an injury felt like.

LeBron's real competitive advantage is driven by the work he puts in to align his mind and body on a regular basis. Although a wide majority of basketball fanatics are of the belief that his 6-foot-8 & 280 pound frame does the job for him but that is far removed from the actual truth behind the scenes.

His strenuous gym workouts marked by music-filled Instagram stories even in times of distress are a symbol of how The King manages to stay unfazed by external pressure. At this point in his career, nothing seems to disrupt his mindset to be great on the court and the building blocks for the same are laid during his 4 AM gym sessions and the joy he draws out of them.

With multiple off-court gigs still rolling in the background of his gravitating NBA universe, James has found extreme expertise in hitting the right balance between his gazillion worlds.
