The World Cannot Escape LeBron James’s Shoulder Shrug This Summer

LeBron James is a very strong person. You might have already known this having watched him play basketball for the past two-plus decades. At the 2004 NBA draft combine, he weighed in at 245 pounds and was less than 7% body fat. Since then he's put on a decent amount of weight and it appears to be mostly muscle.

You can see how strong he is in the way that players bounce off of him. And then to let you know that your eyes were not lying, he often shrugs his shoulders in a way that confirms yes, he really is that strong. And he can't stop doing it for Team USA.
