“It’s a little bit too small and claustrophobic for my wife,” James said, which leaves the chamber to James alone. LeBron James makes his regular-season debut for the Philadelphia 76ers against the Knicks in New York. It opens with a hyperbaric chamber used for postgame recovery. Four title trophies, a Basquiat painting and a LeBron James Edition Mercedes-Maybach follow. James also talks about sleep, media scrutiny and the lessons sport has delivered, all ahead of a first game in a new uniform. The first stop is a Vitaeris hyperbaric chamber, and James opens the tour with a joke about it: “This one has been in the family for a long time. Savannah is not a fan.
The four-time champion arrives after a video tour of the Los Angeles home James shares with wife Savannah, released by Vogue on Tuesday as part of its Objects of Affection series.
Four NBA championship trophies sit there, the first from 2012 with the Miami Heat.
“My a** go to sleep when I get in there,” James said. “We love a quiet luxury moment,” she said, before showing her “not-so-quiet” Ugg x Palace slides. “It’s too cold,” she said, and added that James can stay in the longest.
“I don’t want to talk to nobody, see nobody, hear from nobody. For a player about to start a season with a new team, a sealed pod and a lot of sleep sounds like a sensible plan. The mantel adds career context. James pulls out a Louis Vuitton jean jacket with no obvious label, and Savannah explains the idea behind it. James adds, “We like stuff that feels good and looks good on us. Recovery shows up again at the cold plunge. James calls it “one of the best places in the house. Savannah does not agree with that.
