Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James seemingly shared the clearest look yet at his upcoming Nike LeBron 23 sneakers Thursday on his Instagram story.

The Los Angeles Lakers are set to play the 2025-26 NBA season with Luka Doncic and LeBron James leading the way. Gone are the days of James being the franchise player for the team. Doncic has taken that role over for the Lakers already after being acquired before the trade deadline last year.

Aside from LeBron James' future and Luka Doncic's contract extension, one of the biggest offseason questions surrounding the Los Angeles Lakers is what role Bronny James will play in 2025. There's no question the 20-year-old guard experienced a steep learning curve during his rookie season,

"The biggest thing for Bronny is that he has to get in elite shape," Redick said via ESPN. "That's the barrier of entry for him right now. And if he does that, I think he's got a chance to be a really fantastic player in the NBA .

The Los Angeles Lakers drafted Bronny James with the 55th pick in the 2024 NBA Draft to create the first-ever NBA father-son duo with LeBron James leading the roster. Bronny was drafted as a developmental prospect and played a total of 181 minutes in 27 games over his rookie season.
