LeBron James stopped drinking alcohol

LeBron James of the Los Angeles Lakers has reportedly made a notable lifestyle change during the season, stepping away from alcohol as part of his rehab process, according to ESPN’s Dave McMenamin.

“There’s no telling the ride the Lakers could still go on this spring, especially if James can find that cape to put back on. While James is eight years older, he has shown a similar commitment to this season’s Lakers team, sources said.

“He missed the first 14 games because of sciatica. But James stopped drinking alcohol during his rehab, and he has slimmed down considerably.”
