After the Los Angeles Lakers were eliminated from the playoffs on Wednesday night, there has been some chatter on LeBron James' future in the NBA.
One of the greatest players to ever touch a basketball court, James deserves to go out on the right foot, whichever way he envisions that.
James has been fortunate to win championships, MVP Awards, and much more, but playing with his son, Bronny James, might be the thing he's most proud of.
While the 40-year-old likely doesn't have too much longer in the NBA, he could be waiting to do something that no one expects. According to Shams Charania of ESPN, there's a scenario where James could play in the 2026-27 season after his other son, Bryce James, enters the NBA.
"[Bryce James] is gonna be potentially draft eligible in 2026 ... [LeBron's] got a 54-million dollar player option ... He probably opts into that," Charania said.
Bronny was the better prospect than Bryce, who is set to play his freshman year at Arizona.

However, if James wants him on the Lakers, Los Angeles will do what's needed to land him, whether it be in the draft or as an undrafted signing.
More importantly, it doesn't sound like James plans to retire. The Lakers should be happy about that, as he proved throughout the season to still have plenty left in the tank after averaging 24.4 points, 7.8 rebounds, and 8.2 assists.
The NBA's all-time leading scorer continues to do unthinkable things, and playing with a second son would only add to his long list of accomplishments.
