All eyes are on LeBron James as he prepares to announce his next landing spot. While fans eagerly anticipate his decision, they were treated to a sight they never thought they’d see.
James appeared on the red carpet of the TIME 100 Sports Gala alongside his wife, Savannah. The four-time NBA champion sported a completely bald look after years of having minimal hair on his head.
James also drew attention with the toast he delivered at the gala. In his speech, James highlighted the impact of sports on society, emphasizing how they “bring families together” and influence generations. James also took the opportunity to thank his own family for empowering him to “inspire the youth.”
“Without sports, I wouldn’t be here,” james said. “I wouldn’t be able to tell my story. I would not be able to inspire the youth, inspire everybody that’s followed my journey.”
While James had some stirring words to say, he gave no indication about his next move following his decision to leave the LA Lakers.
James spent eight seasons with the Lakers, bringing a championship to the franchise in 2020. He departed after a sweep in their second-round series against the OKC Thunder.
