LeBron James isn't ruling out a move to the broadcast booth once his playing days are over.
The Los Angeles Lakers star spoke about a potential future in broadcasting during a recent appearance on the "Golic and Gojo" podcast, saying he's always looking for ways to give back to the game of basketball. He also shouted out to former NFL quarterback Tom Brady, who recently transitioned to broadcasting.
"I don't know, I definitely love the sport," James said. "I love basketball, I love football and I watch it not only as a fan, but also just breaking down matchups and things of that nature. I was brought into sports - when you grow up in Northeast Ohio, listen, you grow up in sports. So it'd be great.
"I see Tom Brady doing it, he's been great so far. We will see, even if it's just a guest appearance, one game or two when I'm done playing. But it's always fun to give back to the game. The game has given me so much. So, if it's basketball, if it's football, if it's whatever. I love the word sport because it's given so much to me and my family and it's only right I give back to it."
James is entering his 22nd season in the NBA and seventh with the Lakers. The 39-year-old signed a two-year, $104-million max deal in July that includes a player option for the 2025-26 season.
