LeBron James is one of the greatest players ever to have played the game of basketball. The high school phenom skipped college to go right into the league. And he dominated the NBA right from his rookie year when he won the Rookie of the Year trophy. LeBron has only gone from strength to strength from there on and now easily is the best player of his generation.

LeBron might be a world-famous athlete now who is also a billionaire, but his life was never easy. He was born in Akron, Ohio, and was raised by a single mother. ‘King James’ is a family man and should be a role model to anyone. He has three children with his high school sweetheart Savannah who he married in 2013, two boys named Bronny and Bryce, and a daughter named Zhuri.

In light of the Supreme Court’s reversal on the Roe vs Wade ruling, a resurfaced article talked about a defining moment in LeBron’s career from his rookie year. LeBron’s then-girlfriend Savannah was pregnant with Bronny. She panicked because LeBron had just started his rookie year a few months back and finally broke the news to him. But LeBron gave her assurance. LeBron said, “It’s not going to slow me down, and it’s not going to slow you down. We’re going to keep doing what we have to do.”

Ever since then, James has gone on to win 4 NBA titles and broken several records in the league.

LeBron James and his future with the Lakers

LeBron James individually had one of his better seasons last year. He averaged over thirty points a game over the season and just missed out on the scoring title by a whisker. But the Lakers’ season was an unmitigated failure. One of the preseason favorites couldn’t even qualify for the play-in tournament, let alone the playoffs.

The much-discussed Russell Westbrook trade turned out to be a dud as he never gelled with the team. The Lakers management should look to maximize their title chances while LeBron is still on the team, but it is easier said than done.

If LeBron doesn’t sign a contract extension this offseason, he will be a free agent next season. At this point in his career, he would like to go all out for championships. If LeBron feels like the Lakers are not the place to be, he will be a much sought-after free agent next season. However, he is not showing any such signs yet and is already putting in work for next season. He recently posted a video of himself working on his jump shots with Chris Brickley.

There have been reports of Kyrie Irving wanting to come to the Lakers, but they are still only reports. If he comes, LeBron might think of the Lakers in a different light. Let us know in the comments below your expectations for the Lakers offseason.
