On the Everybody's Crazy podcast, LeBron James shared how he warned his financial advisor from the very beginning about any deception.

LeBron James will miss the 2025-26 NBA season opener with sciatica. Here's James' injury history throughout his 22-season career.

James, who averaged 24.4 points, 7.8 rebounds, 8.2 assists, 1.0 steals and 2.1 triples per game for the Lakers last season, has been diagnosed with an injury that will sideline him for three to four weeks. This means that the 40-year-old will not only miss the season-opener, but likely at least the first five games of the campaign.

The announcement was made as a parody of “The Decision,” a widely criticized television event James and his team produced when he left for the Miami Heat in free agency.

But long before he became the “Chosen One” of the NBA, LeBron was also a standout on the football field. At St. Vincent–St. Mary High School in Akron, Ohio, James lined up as a wide receiver and turned heads with his size, speed, and natural athleticism.

LeBron talks about the vastly different play styles in high school and the NBA. LeBron James will become the first NBA player to play 23 seasons. Luka Doncic is back with the Lakers, shifting LeBron’s main contributor role for the first time.

LeBron James seems to be the golf bug's latest victim, and while he recently announced that he plans to play at least one more season for the NBA's Los Angeles Lakers, it sounds like he found something to occupy his time in his post-basketball life — whenever that arrives.
