LeBron James Gets Candid About His After-Retirement Plans and Reflects on Playing with Son Bronny
LeBron James, the iconic Los Angeles Lakers star, is preparing for his 22nd NBA season as his 40th birthday approaches this December. With fans constantly speculating about his retirement plans, the all-time NBA points leader has finally shared his surprising vision for life after basketball.
In a recent appearance on the DraftKings show “James Joins GoJo & Golic,” LeBron opened up about the possibility of pursuing a broadcasting career after he retires from the court. “I don’t know yet, but I definitely love the sport. It would be great. I see Tom Brady doing it, and he’s been fantastic. We’ll see — even if it’s just a guest appearance for one or two games when I’m done playing,” LeBron shared.
He emphasized the deep connection he feels with sports, saying, “Basketball, football, whatever it is — sports have given me so much, and it’s only right that I give back.” His comments have sparked excitement and curiosity about what role he might take on in the world of sports media once his playing days are over.
Despite fans eagerly speculating about his future, LeBron shows no signs of slowing down. Having recently signed a contract extension with the Lakers, he’s fully focused on the upcoming season, which will be historic for another reason: he will be playing alongside his son, Bronny James, who was drafted in the second round of the 2024 NBA Draft.
LeBron reflected on the surreal experience of hitting the court with Bronny. “We got back in the gym, and it was the first time we were on the floor as professionals, preparing for the season. I caught myself just watching him… It’s going to be an unbelievable year for me, and I hope for him as well,” he shared.
As the first father-son duo in NBA history, LeBron and Bronny’s upcoming season promises to be unforgettable. Their first game together will be against the Minnesota Timberwolves, and the world is eagerly watching to see how this next chapter in LeBron’s legendary career unfolds.
