The Summer Olympics head to Los Angeles in 2028. And while James recently signed a two-year extension to remain with the Lakers, don’t expect him to be in the City of Angels during the next Games.
“No, I won’t be there,” he said.
“I’m getting the hell out of that city when the Olympics come to Los Angeles,” he added, laughing. “All right, I’ll live there all year. I will not be in Los Angeles in ‘28. I’m getting out of there.”

LeBron James on the 2025 playoffs: “I won’t be there”
Would love to see LeBron play 25 seasons and retire after the 2027-28 season.
Playing a quarter of a century in any sports league is wild.
Lebron James is a liar
I can’t imagine what the traffic and chaos would be like during the Olympics, but it’s not like the secluded hills where LeBron lives would be impacted anyways.
sure thing old man
NBA ain’t waiting that long for the expansion.
[removed]
Basically confirmed he is retiring from Olympic basketball which was probably a thought most had anyways.
LeGone
He’ll be in Vegas.
Soft /s
How will this impact LeBrons legacy?
ugh I am not looking forward to this shit at all
“But Bronny will be”
He’ll be there not as a player

Graphic of this would go crazy someone cook
Jeanie Buss has begun trying to relocate the Olympics to please Lebron.
He’ll be in NYC with Brunson
Thank God
Spoken like a real Angeleno. No one here wants the Olympics to come to LA. Annoying developments already causing traffic, nevermind when everyone and their mother will descend upon LA in 28. Only somewhat decent outcome of this is the metro extension to LAX.
Yeah, I get it. I don’t want to be in LA when the Olympics are happening ether.
LeVanish
With all respect to him he’d be 44, he’d want to pass it on to the younger guys in the league.
Put him on the coaching staff
But Brony…
Thankfully
Let’s read between the lines…get excited Knicks fans! You’re finally getting LeBron!
as a *player*!
Dude’ll end up on the coaching staff or something.
Damn Bron got me crying at the pre drink
I don’t want to be in LA when the Olympics aren’t happening.
The Bron farewell tour is going to be insane.
Love if retired LeBron comes out and plays just because he gets bored
He will be though
bro is a billionaire and lives in LA, he’ll probably be there sitting courtside
“By that time my son will be the one having to support me.”
he leaving LA lol
He says that now
oops
