Despite his immense talent, LeBron James is apparently quite superstitious, as revealed in a recent podcast by Playmaker featuring his former teammates Mario Chalmers and Thomas Bryant.
Chalmers shared anecdotes about LeBron’s pregame rituals, including the peculiar habit of laying out his gameday outfit in the middle of the locker room and insisting that nobody walks over it. If anyone dares to cross over his outfit, LeBron reportedly demands a complete replacement of his attire, including jersey, shorts, tights, headbands, armbands, and socks.
Chalmers described LeBron’s behavior as akin to OCD superstition, emphasizing the need for everyone to circumvent his laid-out outfit as if it were a chalk outline.

Additionally, Bryant disclosed that LeBron has a designated seat in the gym, which is strictly reserved for him, even when he’s not present. Bryant recounted a teammate’s attempt to occupy LeBron’s seat, only to be promptly warned against it, with the explanation that it belonged exclusively to LeBron.
These revelations shed light on the intriguing world of athlete superstitions, showcasing how even the most accomplished players like LeBron James can be bound by routines and beliefs that seem eccentric to outsiders.
