LeBron James dished out some relationship advice while visiting his wife's podcast, Everybody's Crazy.

Joined by streamer Kai Cenat and Fanum, along with actor and DJ Travis Bennett, the NBA veteran weighed in on dating icks with his wife, Savanah James, and her co-host, April McDaniel.

Around the 20-minute mark of the episode below, the group discussed those who quickly lose interest in someone they're dating. LeBron has been with his high school sweetheart since the early 2000s, and the couple has been married for over 10 years, so he doesn't have much experience with the topic.

But he still shared his insight.

"I think a lot of people, though, get off people quickly. Like, they be so into you
and then they be like, 'Eh, OK, I'm done,'" McDaniel said.

"Well, they weren't into you. And you can't look at it—you can't think, like, when you looking in the mirror, like, 'Damn, what did I do?' It's them," the NBA legend said. "If they get off you that fast, then it was never meant to be in the first place."

The Los Angeles Lakers player also noted that longterm relationships go through "ups and downs" but repeated his initial message when prompted by McDaniel.

"You got to look in the mirror and say, 'It's not me,'" LeBron said. "The men, too, 'cause it's some it's some cutthroat, ruthless-ass bitches out here right now too."

After the crew laughed, LeBron explained that he's noticed his teammates going through it in the locker room after women "flipped the script."

"And you know, some homies out here that's trying to be good, too and just trying to figure it out and now they looking in the mirror saying, 'Damn, what did I do wrong?'" LeBron continued. "Homies, it ain't you. It ain't always you. If it's meant to be, it's meant to be."

While on Complex's 360 With Speedy last month, LeBron shared that while his marriage isn't "picture perfect," his relationship has lasted thanks to communication, honesty, and learning to be OK through times of discomfort.
