LeBron James dropped a ton of weight over the summer (Photo)

Not only was LeBron James focused on whether or not he would be returning to the Cleveland Cavaliers this summer, but he was also apparently focusing on his health as well, in particular his weight.

As ESPN’s Brian Windhorst notes below, James apparently cut the heavy carbs out of his diet, and because of that, you can easily see that he has dropped a ton of weight from that muscular physique he has been sporting in recent years.

When LeBron entered the league out of high school, he was indeed the skinny kid from Akron, but throughout the years he has morphed into one of the most impressive physical specimens, not just in the NBA, but in all of sports.

But with his career getting up there in years, he knows that it’s time for him to start taking care of his body a little more, and cutting the weight down a bit will more than likely prove to be a good move in the end.

James plans on winning multiple titles with his hometown team in the next few years, and to do that, he knows that he has to keep his body in top-notch shape at all times.
