Los Angeles Lakers superstar forward LeBron James is about to enter his 22nd season in the NBA. James has been dominant for the last 21 years in the league, and all signs point to him continuing that this upcoming season.

James has done it all in his career, and there’s no debating that his time playing at the highest level is coming to an end soon. The 39-year-old will enter his age 40 season soon, and it’s not surprising that he’s already starting to think about life after basketball.

The only question now is what he will do. James already has other ventures in his life, including multiple business ventures, acting, writing, endorsements, and television. However, once James calls it quits, he may pursue another avenue: a broadcasting career.

In a recent interview on the ‘GoJo & Golic’ podcast, James discussed the possibility of stepping into the world of sports broadcasting once his playing days come to an end.

“You know, I don’t know. I definitely love the sport. It would be great. I see Tom Brady doing it, and he’s been great so far. And, you know, we will see, even if it’s just a guest appearance, you know, one game or two when I’m done playing. But it’s always fun to give back to the game because 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 that I give back to it.”

James went ahead and cited NFL legend and future Hall of Famer Tom Brady. Brady was signed to a lucrative broadcasting deal and is now part of FOX Sports’ ‘A’ team.

So far, Brady’s been a work in progress, but with his work ethic and drive to be the best, there’s no doubt that he could be great at broadcasting one day. James, like Brady, has that same drive and passion for his sport.

The four-time NBA champion has knowledge unlike anyone in the game’s history. James would bring an insight to the game only he can do, as well as his magnetic personality and ability to connect with fans.

James wouldn’t be the first to jump from the hardwood/gridiron to the booth. Plenty of former players have turned to the booth, like Tony Romo, now Lakers head coach JJ Redick, Reggie Miller, and Mark Jackson, to name a few.

If James decides to take that leap, he will undoubtedly be highly sought after and do a tremendous job.
