Does LeBron James have a future as an NBA broadcaster when his playing career ends? According to the man himself, it’s a possibility.
James was a guest on the GoJo and Golic podcast with hosts Mike Golic Jr. and Mike Golic Sr. The elder Golic brought up Tom Brady working as an NFL broadcaster for Fox and wondered if James may follow in those footsteps.
“Your breakdowns are incredible and your good buddy, Tom Brady…is in the booth now. With your breakdown, you ever think when you’re done you may end up in the booth, breaking down basketball?” Golic asked.
“You know, I don’t know — I definitely love the sport,” James said. I love basketball, I love football. And I watch it not only as a fan but also just breaking down matchups, just things of that nature. I was brought into sports. When you grow up in Northeast Ohio, listen, you grow up in sports. It would be great. I see Tom Brady doing it. He’s been great so far. And, we will see. Even if it’s just a guest appearance. You know, one game or two, when I’m done playing.”

James continued, talking about how much the game and sports in general have given him.
“But it’s always fun to give back to the game. The game has given me so much. So if it’s basketball, if it’s football, if it’s whatever — I love the word sport. Because it’s given so much to me and my family and it’s only right I give back to it.”
