LeBron James, star of the Los Angeles Lakers, is about to enter his 21st NBA season, and he hopes to continue his unprecedented level of play. LeBron will be under intense scrutiny to win his fifth NBA title and the 18th for the Lakers.
How much longer he plans to keep playing basketball is also a mystery. He has repeatedly stated his desire to play alongside his son Bronny James, which would require him to return to the NBA for at least one more season.
LeBron James and Beats By Dre debuted a new commercial the day before NBA Opening Night, when the Lakers traveled to Denver to take on the Nuggets. The commercial features LeBron James, his wife Savannah, and Haaland’s father Alfie, as well as Manchester City striker Erling Haaland.
Motivating the Lakers’ superstar is the thought of showing to the world that he can still accomplish all of these fantastic things. The extent of his remaining energy has been called into question, but he’s prepared to prove his detractors wrong.
The presence of LeBron’s two sons, Bronny and Bryce, will also be noted by many, with the inference that LeBron wants both of his sons to play in the NBA. Bryce would have to wait another three years to enter the draft.
LeBron and Anthony Davis will aim to capitalize on their great finish to last season and lead the Los Angeles Lakers back to the top of the NBA mountain this coming season. It all starts on Tuesday night in Denver, where LeBron intends to silence his critics once and for all.
