It appears the LeBron James diet needs will be taken care of by someone else, as the Lakers superstar opted against bringing his personal staff to the NBA Orlando bubble. This meant that Dena Marino, LeBron James' chef won’t be the one taking care of the LeBron James diet. The Lakers star's diet and fitness are always under scrutiny, with LeBron James' chef helping the 35-year-old maintain his fitness levels.
However, LeBron James has decided against bringing his personal entourage inside the NBA bubble. The reason behind this decision has been touted as the fact that he does not want to alienate himself from the rest of the squad. With the Lakers' camaraderie there for everyone to see, it is believed that LeBron James wants that to stay with his teammates as they continue to stay atop the Western Conference.
With LeBron James deciding against bringing his personal chef, masseuse or security team inside the NBA bubble, it gives an indication of where his priorities lie at this stage of the season. TNT’s Chris Haynes reported on the development, saying that the decision has been taken to show solidarity with his teammates as the group stay together at Disney World. With this decision, James has ensured he is on the same level as his teammates, which is bound to rub off on others positively and build close-knit bonding within the team. Haynes also reported that the Lakers star has been spending the majority of his time with Anthony Davis and Quinn Cook.

Recently when pictures of the food inside the NBA bubble went viral, ex-NBA star Isaiah Thomas claimed that there was no way James would be eating that. The LA Lakers will resume their NBA season against LA Clippers on July 30, 9:00 PM EST (July 31, 6:30 AM IST). Before the season was suspended, LeBron James was averaging 25.7 points, 7.9 rebounds and career-best 10.6 assists per game.
