Overview

• On Complex’s 360 With Speedy, James said “Google search is a lie” and called the posted figure “way less,” joking he has only a couple thousand dollars and that his outfit was free.
• He quipped that his children now have the money through NIL deals, with Bronny entering his second NBA season and Bryce playing at the University of Arizona.
• Coverage continues to cite more than $581 million in career NBA earnings and third-party estimates of roughly $1.2–$1.5 billion, which reflect asset valuations rather than liquid cash.
• James said retirement is nearing but not here yet as he prepares for his 23rd NBA season, with the Lakers’ opener set for Oct. 21.
• Some reports relayed an unnamed executive’s speculation that he might play one or two more seasons to possibly overlap with Bryce in 2026, which is unconfirmed.
