LeBron James has been in the twilight of his career and is perhaps looking to pursue other hobbies ahead of his NBA retirement. In the Game Over podcast hosted by Max Kellerman, James' agent and Klutch Sports founder Rich Paul revealed something new in the LA Lakers star's home.
According to Paul, James bought a gold simulator for his house as he tries his skills in other sports. Paul also said that the simulator was so beautiful, it stopped him from buying his own, as he could just go to James' house and play there, even if the four-time NBA champion was not around.
"(LeBron James) has a beautiful simulator in his house," Paul revealed. "Why would I have a simulator in my house when this guy spent top dollar on his simulator?...Here's the thing, I can also play it in his house and I don't need him to be there so I save money."•

NBA fans reacted to Paul's revelation, comparing James to some other NBA stars such as Michael Jordan and rival Steph Curry, who also played golf as a side sport.
@LegionHoops @NBA__Courtside What if LeBron turns out to be like Tiger Woods level (exaggerating) golfer and competes competitively for the next 10-15 years. Wouldn’t that be insane ! That would shit in MJ’s baseball career too 😂
Lebron wanna be Steph and MJ so bad. He don’t even got proper Coordination for golf.
I’m sorry why are we acting like LeBron golfing is the end of the fucking world?? Austin Reaves golfs. Steph Curry golfs. Devin Booker golfs. It’s a popular sport? I see it no different from him playing football for fun in the summer/with the team
Meanwhile, other fans pointed out that golf is for retired people, and it could be a sign that James is retiring after this season.
@LegionHoops @NBA__Courtside Golf is for retired people💔💔💔
@LegionHoops @NBA__Courtside Retirement activity is that you? We don’t want this update on NBA street. 😂✌️
@LegionHoops @NBA__Courtside It’s over 🥹
James is currently in his 23rd season in the NBA, a record. He has recently turned 41 years old last Dec. 30.
James is still seen as one of the Lakers' top players as he is averaging 20.3 points, 4.9 rebounds, and 6.5 assists per game.
LeBron James shouts out golf simulator provider
As Rich Paul's interview got viral, LeBron James went to social media to shout out the golf simulator provider on X. James revealed Full Swing, an officially licensed golf simulator of the PGA Tour, as the provider that gave him the setup in his house.
"MAJOR S/O @FullSwingGolf for the setup! Absolutely LOVE IT! Thank you 🙏🏾🫡🏌🏾," he wrote.Golf has been one of James' hobbies over the past years. Getting a simulator in his house only reinforces his love for the sport.
For now, James is expected to help the Lakers recover from their current slump as the team slid to the fifth seed in the Western Conference with a 21-11 record.
