Jesus christ, 50 million a year give or take, which I am sure is still good money for Lebron even though he must worth like a billion already, maybe more. I am guessing that he will definitely pick up the player option, but it all depends on where his kid will go. I guess Bronny looks as solid as it gets for a candidate, both a legacy which is like the biggest we can think, but also a solid top 60 draft pick for sure even without the dad (well he wouldn't be this good without his dad lol). So all in all, I am guessing that if Lakers gets Bronny then Lebron stays, if not then Lebron may leave to wherever drafts Bronny for sure.

Looks like LeBron will most likely retire a Laker on that contract. The extension also makes him the new highest paid career earner in NBA history, passing Kevin Durant. In another two years I’m not sure if LeBron will still be able to be healthy and play at a high level, but he’ll probably have the option to sign another deal if he wants to. I’m sure LeBron is celebrating tonight…

That's a huge amount of money, that will increase his wealth being one of the richest NBA players in the world. Well, he deserved that because he is the king, may not be the best player in the NBA now but his leadership is very effective as long as he is healthy and can play.

Not just in the NBA but in the world of sports, he will be one of the richest, others might not agree with the huge contract he got, but I guess the Lakers wanted to keep Lebron and the management believed in him that perhaps another ring will be in the horizon for them. It's that last year was really a disaster as they expecting a good season but it turn out to be their worst. We haven't seen Lebron getting worst ankle injuries or like a torn ACL and I think it's more of his body really adapting to the grueling NBA games throughout his careers.

That is because Lebron is smart enough to invest back the money he earned in NBA back in his body, in fact it was discussed before that he spent millions of dollars annually just to get his body fit even though he's slowly growing old by daily basis. So, that's why we haven't seen him getting bad injuries that could potentially cost him a year of rest just like the other players in the league. That said, I think Lebron is the richest active athlete who earned over $1 Billion.
