LeBron James is as famous for his obsession with his health as he is for delivering nifty passes or posting triple-doubles in the playoffs.
But one workout routine seemed to tickle social media, despite the fact that King James’ fastidious workout routines is directly correlated to remaining remarkably injury-free for the balance of his 16 legendary seasons in the NBA. Well, save for last year’s freak accident on Christmas that permanently derailed his once-promising inaugural season with the Los Angeles Lakers.
Many sports and pop culture fans chuckled at LeBron’s thrusting, as he did some squats in the gym the other day which he posted on his Instagram Story. That video is now deleted, of course, but was captured by the likes of The Shade Room:

While one IG follower tried to explain that LeBron was performing the correct technique for this exercise, others laughed at its appearance from behind.
“It’s Quarter squats great for explosion, he’s mimicking how he would be jumping if he was playing,” the supporter, @MostWantedGainz, said. But another IG user said “LeBron look like he training for Hot Girl Summer too.”
Actor Michael Rapaport, who always has time to say something due to his always open acting schedule, was merciless in his assessment of King James’ squats:
Really? On Taco Tuesday? Really?

Rapaport was far from alone. IG and Twitter had fun at James’ expense with funny memes directed at James’ squatting exercises. Take a look:
