LeBron & Reaves: Golf, YouTube, and Lakers' Future
17 Aug
Summary
- LeBron James and Austin Reaves reunited off-court.
- Reaves signed the richest contract for an undrafted player.
- Lakers' future now rests on Luka Doncic's shoulders.
NBA icon LeBron James was recently seen with former Los Angeles Lakers teammate Austin Reaves, enjoying a round of golf. The outing, which also included James' son Bronny and members of the Bob Does Sports YouTube channel, suggests a potential future collaboration on James' recently launched YouTube channel. This social activity follows a period of significant career developments for both players.
James concluded a month-long free agency period by signing a two-year, $8 million deal with the Philadelphia 76ers. Concurrently, Reaves, at 28 years old, finalized a four-year, $180 million contract with the Lakers, establishing a new record for the highest-value contract awarded to an undrafted player. This marks a pivotal moment for the Lakers franchise.
Amidst significant organizational shifts, including the sale of the Lakers to new ownership, the team faces heightened expectations. The upcoming 2026-27 NBA season is poised to be a defining period, as it will be the first without LeBron James' presence in the league, and the Lakers' performance will largely depend on Luka Doncic.
