It will be James' 22nd season in the NBA, tying Vince Carter for the league record. The move represents only a slight salary increase over his scheduled 2024-25 season salary of $51.4 million in the form of a player option.
The deal, culminated on the fourth day of free agency, includes a no-trade clause and a player option for next season.
LeBron James — NBA Legend
James will turn 40 in December and averaged 25.7 points, 7.3 rebounds and 8.3 assists last season — as the oldest active player in the league. This past season, he became the first player to be age 39 or older in what became an All-NBA campaign.
The four-time NBA champion, the league's all-time leading points scorer, will be playing his 22nd season in 2024-2025, seventh with Los Angeles. Not only is James the all-time leader in points (40,474), but he’s fourth in assists (11,009), sixth in games played (1,492), and eighth in both 3-pointers made (2,410) and steals (2,275).
