Past honorary starters have included Rafael Nadal, Brad Pitt and Steve McQueen.
James — a four-time league MVP and arguably one of the greatest basketball players ever — has yet to decide on his NBA future after revealing he has “a lot on his mind” this offseason.
The Lakers are certainly counting on their franchise player to continue his career, rather than choosing to retire after LA was beaten by Denver.
“We’ll see what happens in the future,” James said in the final reply from his post-game press conference on May 22. ‘Don’t know. Don’t know. I have a lot to think about, to be honest. Just for me personally to continue playing basketball, I have a lot to think about.”
James is under a $46.9 million contract with the Lakers next season, but he’s in charge of his future after surpassing Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s scoring record earlier this year.

“Being present on the floor, being present in the locker room and bus rides and plane rides, things like that. It’s certainly a challenge. It was a very challenging season for me, for our baseball club, and of course we know what happened early on (at the Lakers’ 2-10 start to the season). It was cool, a pretty cool ride.”
James missed a month of the regular season with a foot injury on the stretch, but he bounced back with a string of stellar playoff performances as the Lakers defeated second-seeded Memphis and eliminated defending champion Golden State.
