LeBron James breaks 50,000-point threshold
LeBron James became the first player in NBA history to score 50,000 combined points in the regular season and playoffs.
"He has his own timeline, I got my own timeline," James said.
Bryce James is LeBron's youngest son, who is currently a student-athlete in his first season at the University of Arizona.
His oldest son, Bronny, is in his sophomore season in the league. The two made history as the NBA's first father-son duo as fans wondered if he would get the same experience with Bryce.
Still, it remains unclear what the announcement could be about.
What's next:
The Lakers are among the teams hoping to dethrone the Oklahoma City Thunder not only as Kings of the Western Conference, but also the NBA this upcoming season.
It all begins on Tuesday, Oct. 21, when LeBron James, Luka Dončić and the Lakers open their season at the Crypto.com Arena in downtown LA against the Golden State Warriors.
