Carrying the personality of one of the elite players entering the 21st season of his career as the Los Angeles Lakers forward, 39-year-old LeBron James, however, remains in debate on the NBA G.O.A.T.
With discussions pondering over the NBA G.O.A.T. debate, LeBron, as one of the top prospects as a current player behind the legendary players, could be a top prospect in the category of lacrosse.
Lacrosse is one of North America's oldest sports, dating back to the 12th century. It is a team sport that requires a player with exceptional athleticism and speed.
Donning great athletic skills and durability on-court at the age of 39, LeBron's resume as well as his physical attributes reflect that he is a perfect fit for playing a sport like lacrosse.
In his recent Q & A session with Uninterrupted, LeBron reveals, “If I wasn’t the GOAT in basketball, I would be the GOAT in lacrosse. I would be a beast out on the field. It’s fast; it’s physical."
In terms of performance, the Lakers star currently holds 34.4% of 3-point shots and 73.5% of free throws. As stated by him, "I got pretty good, like, accuracy when it comes to things."
As per reports, the average salary of a lacrosse player accounts for $64,000, which is more than the current average salary of LeBron, accounting for $49,511,644 from a 2-year $99,023,288 contract.
The Lakers player, however, has never said to explore his skills in the sport in his life. With rumors of his potential retirement soon, James is left to establish himself in yet another sport.
