During his Instagram Live, Deng recalled a story of James training in a trailer while they were on a McDonald's commercial set. Deng revealed that he was bored, while James set up a whole gym with dumbbells and bands while he worked on his body. After that day, Deng realised that LeBron James works smart instead of working hard, which makes a whole difference.

Deng said that he would wake up and work out, but James utilized every opportunity to make himself better. Deng added that the way James works makes all the difference between a 10-to-15 NBA All-Star and two-time NBA All-Star. Deng played 16 seasons in the NBA and is a two-time All-Star. James, on the other hand, is playing in his 17th NBA season and has been an All-Star in every season since 2005.
