LeBron James Reveals What Bronny Thinks About Big Career Decision originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James, 40, has a big decision to make this offseason about his future with the Lakers.

Though he has yet to make a firm commitment on his future with the Los Angeles Lakers, it seems like LeBron James is gearing up for his 23rd season. The Lakers superstar said in a recent interview with the Associated Press that his current focus is entirely on recovering from a knee injury he suffered in April.

There's been a fair share of NBA players turned coaches in league history, with some of the most notable being Phil Jackson, Steve Kerr, Pat Riley and even James's current coach with the Los Angeles Lakers, JJ Redick. But, none of them had a playing career quite like James's in the NBA. The major stars don't tend to become coaches later on.

LeBron James entered the NBA in 2003 straight out of high school. The Cleveland Cavaliers drafted him with the No. 1 overall pick in the loaded 2003 NBA Draft, which featured future Hall of Famers Carmelo Anthony, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh.

As the offseason gets going, the biggest question around the Los Angeles Lakers remains what the future holds for star forward LeBron James. James is eligible to enter free agency by declining his player option for next season.

LeBron James is still a dominant force in the NBA at the age of forty. As he gets ready for the upcoming training camp, he has openly admitted that he needs to maintain his health, especially about his knee.

LeBron James may be daydreaming about Prime Day deals in his new Amazon commercial, but there’s no fantasy when it comes to his real-life focus: getting his knee healthy in time for training camp
