James' return to the Lakers was widely expected, despite speculation about him potentially joining a team that drafted his son, Bronny James.
The signing strengthens the possibility of LeBron sharing the court with his son in the future.
The 39-year-old James remains among the league's highest earners, averaging $51 million annually. This places him alongside players like Joel Embiid, Nikola Jokic, and Kevin Durant. Stephen Curry currently holds the top spot for salary cap hit at $55 million.
With this contract extension, James is projected to reach a career total of $583 million in NBA salary by the end of the 2025-26 season.
