There is nothing more for LeBron James to show as a basketball player, according to James, who has already established a legacy.
This will be his 22nd NBA season altogether, and he's looking forward to playing with his son Bronny, who is just a teenager, for the first time.
This summer, the Los Angeles Lakers forward led Team USA to victory at the Paris Games, earning his third Olympic gold medal. He is not only the league's all-time greatest scorer but also a four-time NBA champion.
Does my basketball career have any more goals left to achieve? When asked about it on Tuesday, the first day of Lakers training camp, he answered reporters (no).
"Anything else is just bonus points. It's fine with me. I adore it. This is my passion. I have all the necessary items.
His ambition of sharing the court with his son Bronny, who is 19 years old, will come true this season thanks to the Lakers' 55th-overall pick in the NBA draft.
During Tuesday's practice, LeBron, who will turn 40 in December, gushed about how "amazing" it was to play the floor with his son.
While LeBron called JJ Redick "an extension of the coaching staff on the floor," the Jameses will be playing for the first time under Redick's tutelage as head coach.
He made it clear that he intended to set an example
My voice will be the one to set the tone. I have a really authoritative voice.
After losing to the Denver Nuggets in the first round of the playoffs last season, LeBron James noted that the Los Angeles Lakers had a lot of room to grow, highlighting the importance of improving their transition defense.
If the Lakers want to have a top-five defense in the league, he added, "We have to hold each other accountable, help each other, demand more out of each other." I asked him what that would entail.
In the first game of the regular season on October 17, the Lakers will host the Minnesota Timberwolves.
