LeBron James is a chocolate chip cookie fiend.

In a new episode of Bob Does Sports, the NBA legend revealed that the baked treat is central to his favorite dessert concoction.

“I fucking love chocolate chip cookies and ice cream,” he told host Robby Berger at the 46:20 minute mark of the video below. “Yo, I go chocolate chip cookies, caramel drizzle over the ice cream with Heath crumble over top of the ice cream and the cookies, and I mash it up and shit.”

Bron added, “That's my biggest fucking downfall.”

However, it seems the 41-year-old gave up dessert last year. In February, James told his Mind the Game co-host Steve Nash that when he was injured for the Lakers’ first 14 games of 2025 due to sciatica, he cut out his cherished chocolate chip cookies.

“I wasn’t playing obviously as the season started,” LeBron said. “So I needed to give up something. I gotta sacrifice something. And I actually did two things that I very love. And that is drinking wine and my chocolate chip cookies for dessert. I completely took it out.”

While he initially planned to give up cookies and wine only for the month of November, he kept his streak going to keep his body in shape for his return to the court.

“I kept going,” James added. “I didn’t have my first drink and my first piece of dessert until New Year’s. New Year’s Day. So I ended up going basically two months.”
