LeBron James is taking time off from basketball after the Denver Nuggets, the defending champions, eliminated the Los Angeles Lakers in the first round of the 2024 NBA playoffs. In a viral video circulating online, the four-time NBA champion is seen exiting a star-studded Miami Grand Prix party at Carbone Beach.
Kevin Durant, Draymond Green, Kevin Love and three-time Super Bowl champion Patrick Mahomes were also spotted hanging out at the party celebrating Lando Norris' first F1 victory.
In the video shared by @BronGotGame, the 20-time NBA All-Star is seen walking to his car after watching the Miami Grand Prix from the Miami International Autodrome track.
James was hounded by fans who wanted to get a glimpse of the basketball icon. At one point, a screaming fan got through and the four-time NBA MVP had to stop a bit to check his security.
"LeBron was spotted at F1 in Miami last night, bro he definitely needs bigger security wtf is this?" @BronGotGame captioned the post.
LeBron James had quite a history with the city of Miami as he played for the Heat for four seasons. He was able to bring back-to-back championships to the Miami Heat and four NBA Finals appearances. He also won two of his four MVPs while wearing the black and red.
LeBron James set for Team USA stint in pursuit of third Olympic gold medal
James has yet to opt for his $51 million player option for the 2024-25 season and is likely to wait until the time is right. If he does opt out, the Akron-born player will be entering free agency with the option to switch teams.
For now, the only clear move that LeBron James is going to make is to suit up for Team USA in an attempt to get his third Olympic gold medal in Paris, France. He is going to be joined by fellow NBA superstars Steph Curry, Kevin Durant, Anthony Davis and Devin Booker.
This season with the LA Lakers, LeBron James averaged 25.7 points, 8.3 assists, 7.3 rebounds and 1.3 steals. He shot 54% from the field and a career-best 41% from beyond the arc.
The team fired Darvin Ham a few days after their playoff exit, leaving the team without a coach and lacking a clear candidate to take his place.
There is also speculation that Bronny James may enter the 2024 NBA draft and could be drafted by the Lakers to fulfill LeBron's dream of playing with his son.
