Fact Check: Is LeBron James considering playing in Saudi Arabia for $400 Million? 

There have been reports regarding the LA Lakers star LeBron James and his future in the NBA after he commented about his possible retirement. Following the news about this, there has been a rumor that the four-time champion will be playing overseas next season.

A Twitter account called Buttcrack Sports recently reported about James playing in Saudi Arabia for $400 million. The post talked about how the current Lakers star is heavily considering playing in the Middle Eastern country for five years. Additionally, they mentioned that LeBron will be joining the Oil Basketball Federation.

However, the information posted by the said Twitter account isn't factually accurate. Buttcrack Sports is a satire account that focuses on trolling its followers. In their account's bio, they even included the phrase "Nothing tweeted should be taken as fact."

Similar to Ballsack Sports, another satirical Twitter account, their posts aren't focused on the serious side of things. Ballsack Sports even posted a tweet about LeBron getting offered an $800 million three-year deal by the Chinese Basketball Association’s Guangdong Tigers.

Both posts aren't factual and James has not given any further comments regarding his future in the league.

Reggie Miller breaks down LeBron James' recent message

Los Angeles Lakers v Denver Nuggets - Game Two

LeBron James recently made waves in the news after he posted an Instagram story referencing his retirement. In the post, James used Jay-Z's lyrics from the song What More Can I Say, which went over most of the people's heads at the time.

"I'm supposed to be #1 on everbody list. We'll see what happens when I no longer exist." James wrote.

Following this, fans quickly started to speculate about the four-time MVP's future in the league. Even people working for the media started to wonder about what James was referencing to, including Dan Patrick. Luckily for him, a former NBA star assured him that the Lakers superstar isn't going anywhere.

Patrcik had Reggie Miller on the show and the former star gave his piece about why the Los Angeles star posted it.

"He's not going anywhere.

"That was emotion talking, right there. He just wants some leverage to have Rob Relinka tweak that roster a little bit. I know Kyrie's [Irving] being floated out there I'm not sure that's the answer but he want's control, still wants that control." Miller said.

"He's not going away, people. He's not walking away."

The former Indiana Pacers star expects James to be back with the Lakers for the next season. If the 19-time All-Star decides to return, he'll play his 21st season in the league.
