James has been dominant for the last 21 years in the league, and all signs point to him continuing that this upcoming season.<\/p>\n<p>James has done it all in his career, and there&#8217;s no debating that his time playing at the highest level is coming to an end soon. The 39-year-old will enter his age 40 season soon, and it&#8217;s not surprising that he&#8217;s already starting to think about life after basketball.<\/p>\n<p>The only question now is what he will do. James already has other ventures in his life, including multiple business ventures, acting, writing, endorsements, and television. However, once James calls it quits, he may pursue another avenue: a broadcasting career.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"imageBox\">\n<div class=\"innerBox ar23-innerBox\"><picture class=\"mapping-embed\"><source srcset=\"https:\/\/d.newsweek.com\/en\/full\/2477509\/lebron-james.webp?w=790&amp;f=41dbe1059d449d4fa80e022fde0fdba0 1x\" type=\"image\/webp\" media=\"(min-width: 992px)\" \/><source srcset=\"https:\/\/d.newsweek.com\/en\/full\/2477509\/lebron-james.jpg?w=790&amp;f=41dbe1059d449d4fa80e022fde0fdba0 1x\" type=\"image\/jpeg\" media=\"(min-width: 992px)\" \/><source srcset=\"https:\/\/d.newsweek.com\/en\/full\/2477509\/lebron-james.webp?w=900&amp;f=1aa619dcb6d4886ed812141ee1796c11 1x\" type=\"image\/webp\" media=\"(min-width: 768px)\" \/><source srcset=\"https:\/\/d.newsweek.com\/en\/full\/2477509\/lebron-james.jpg?w=900&amp;f=1aa619dcb6d4886ed812141ee1796c11 1x\" type=\"image\/jpeg\" media=\"(min-width: 768px)\" \/><source srcset=\"https:\/\/d.newsweek.com\/en\/full\/2477509\/lebron-james.webp?w=790&amp;f=41dbe1059d449d4fa80e022fde0fdba0 1x\" type=\"image\/webp\" media=\"(min-width: 481px)\" \/><source srcset=\"https:\/\/d.newsweek.com\/en\/full\/2477509\/lebron-james.jpg?w=790&amp;f=41dbe1059d449d4fa80e022fde0fdba0 1x\" type=\"image\/jpeg\" media=\"(min-width: 481px)\" \/><source srcset=\"https:\/\/d.newsweek.com\/en\/full\/2477509\/lebron-james.webp?w=450&amp;f=672304a602f868cc7a9b68640663d8ff 1x\" type=\"image\/webp\" media=\"(min-width: 0px)\" \/><source srcset=\"https:\/\/d.newsweek.com\/en\/full\/2477509\/lebron-james.jpg?w=450&amp;f=672304a602f868cc7a9b68640663d8ff 1x\" type=\"image\/jpeg\" media=\"(min-width: 0px)\" \/><source srcset=\"https:\/\/d.newsweek.com\/en\/full\/2477509\/lebron-james.webp?w=1200&amp;f=9ee375239eabdb6d9b14d3b56ad12ecd\" type=\"image\/webp\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"i2477509\" class=\"mapping-embed imgPhoto\" src=\"https:\/\/d.newsweek.com\/en\/full\/2477509\/lebron-james.jpg?w=1200&amp;f=9ee375239eabdb6d9b14d3b56ad12ecd\" alt=\"LeBron James \" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" \/><\/picture><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<div>\n<p>In a recent interview on the\u00a0&#8216;GoJo &amp; Golic&#8217; podcast, James discussed the possibility of stepping into the world of sports broadcasting once his playing days come to an end.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You know, I don&#8217;t know. I definitely love the sport. It would be great. I see\u00a0Tom Brady doing it, and he&#8217;s been great so far. And, you know, we will see, even if it&#8217;s just a guest appearance, you know, one game or two when I&#8217;m done playing. But it&#8217;s always fun to give back to the game because the game has given me so much. So, if it&#8217;s basketball, if it&#8217;s football, if it&#8217;s whatever, I love the word &#8216;sport,&#8217; because it&#8217;s given so much to me and my family. And it&#8217;s only right that I give back to it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<figure class=\"fullCode\">\n<div class=\"innerBox\">\n<div class=\"code\">\n<div class=\"twitter-tweet twitter-tweet-rendered\"><iframe id=\"twitter-widget-0\" class=\"\" title=\"X Post\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/embed\/Tweet.html?dnt=false&amp;embedId=twitter-widget-0&amp;features=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%3D%3D&amp;frame=false&amp;hideCard=false&amp;hideThread=true&amp;id=1837515604460556766&amp;lang=en&amp;origin=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.newsweek.com%2Fsports%2Fnba%2Flakers-lebron-james-hints-potential-broadcasting-career-following-eventual-retirement-1957362&amp;sessionId=2b2557b656a41e1fef3610e4fc8978c14065a8ec&amp;siteScreenName=newsweek&amp;theme=light&amp;widgetsVersion=2615f7e52b7e0%3A1702314776716&amp;width=550px\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-tweet-id=\"1837515604460556766\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p>James went ahead and cited\u00a0NFL\u00a0legend and future Hall of Famer Tom Brady.

James, like Brady, has that same drive and passion for his sport.<\/p>\n<p>The four-time\u00a0NBA\u00a0champion has knowledge unlike anyone in the game&#8217;s history. James would bring an insight to the game only he can do, as well as his magnetic personality and ability to connect with fans.<\/p>\n<p>James wouldn&#8217;t be the first to jump from the hardwood\/gridiron to the booth. Plenty of former players have turned to the booth, like Tony Romo, now Lakers head coach JJ Redick, Reggie Miller, and Mark Jackson, to name a few.<\/p>\n<p>If James decides to take that leap, he will undoubtedly be highly sought after and do a tremendous job.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Los Angeles Lakers superstar forward\u00a0LeBron James\u00a0is about to enter his 22nd season in the\u00a0NBA.
