LeBron James is set to begin an unprecedented 23rd NBA season, continuing to defy both age and expectations. The Los Angeles Lakers star opted into his $52.6 million player option for the 2025-26 season, keeping him under contract for now but leaving the door open to free agency next summer if an extension is not reached.

The COVID-19 pandemic was a wild time for the NBA. There was a lot of uncertainty about how games would feel without fans in the stadium, and many, understandably, disliked that eerie, silent atmosphere.

LeBron James' business partner and his investor group have shifted toward creating a new women’s basketball league to rival the WNBA.

“Kevin Durant now holds the record for the highest career earnings in NBA history at $598.2 million based on current and future salaries, surpassing LeBron James ($583.9 million),” Charania posted on X. “He has a total of three years and $144.7 million on his current contract.”

Lakers star LeBron James will not be joining Maverick Carter, who previously had been helping Saudi Arabia's new basketball league.

During a recent interview, Stephen A. Smith reignited his feud with LeBron James by making a blistering remark about him.

Brogdon and James have met on the court before, but they now also cross paths in one wild stat. Brogdon was named the NBA's Rookie of the Year back in 2017. Of course, he has now left the game behind. He retired before James, who won the 2004 Rookie of the Year award.

LeBron James is officially a billionaire off the court. The King has built his fortune through multiple business ventures, in which he partners with his longtime friend, Maverick Carter. Recently, the duo has been linked with the creation of a rival league to the NBA in Europe.

Past and future converge for the Los Angeles Lakers this season as LeBron James and Luka Doncic embark on their first full NBA campaign chasing a title that could cement one legacy and launch another.
