“Do I have college eligibility if I went to play another sport besides basketball?”: LeBron James is evaluating life after NBA
One would think that LeBron James will enjoy his days away from sports in 5 years, but he does not.
The 37-year-old Lakers superstar has pulled out all the stops on the basketball court to make his bid for the GOAT title.
But LeBron James is still drifting from retirement, both mentally and physically. The 18x All-Star believe he could play with his second son, Bryce (15 years old), which would take him 3-5 years minimum.
While he has shown he can deliver on his promises and remain the best in the league by nearly winning the scoring title against Joel Embiid, the number of games he has bizarrely missed in the last 2 years combined may be a concern for players. Lakers.

Is this worrying for the King too? Because he is looking at other options as well.
LeBron James hints at pursuing other sports and even joining college for it
Like his former teammate JR Smith, “the kid from Akron” who entered the NBA right out of high school is considering college, or just wants to know if he’s eligible to play any other sport besides basketball.
Do I have college eligibility if I played another sport besides basketball? How does that rule work?

We know the man loves attention and this Tweet could be for entertainment purposes only, but it has caught the attention of the NFL nonetheless.
If he actually pulls off something like this in the near future, it will break social media and be the biggest news in the sports world, perhaps even bigger than Michael Jordan’s first retirement.
And seeing how Tom Brady is playing at age 45, LeBron will have a whole new career ahead of him. Playing his preferred quarterback position, he could even play much longer than he must have thought of playing in the NBA.
It will be a win-win for everyone involved, except the NBA, obviously.
