LeBron James is still one of the best players in the NBA at 41.
He is coming off another elite season where he had averages of 20.9 points, 6.1 rebounds, 7.2 assists and 1.2 steals per contest while shooting 51.5% from the field in 60 games.
That said, James is currently a free agent after spending eight seasons with the Los Angeles Lakers.
ESPN’s Shams Charania wrote (on June 30): “LeBron James will continue his NBA career for the 2026-27 season and has informed the Los Angeles Lakers that the franchise can move on without him because he will play elsewhere, Klutch Sports CEO Rich Paul tells ESPN.”
One of the teams who has been mentioned as a possible suitor for James is the Golden State Warriors.
