LeBron James has confirmed he has no plans to coach after his playing career.
Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James is widely regarded as one of the greatest players in basketball history. But when it comes to life after his playing career, coaching won't be part of his plans—except, perhaps, when it comes to his sons.

"No, no, no, no, no coaching for me. No, no, no. I was inspired by the game. I love the game. But I don't have coaching in my future," James told CGTN Sports Scene.
Last season, James averaged 24.4 points, 7.8 rebounds, and 8.2 assists in 70 games, earning All-NBA Second Team honors.
This summer, he exercised his player option to remain with the Lakers for another season. For the first time in his career, however, LeBron is set to play on an expiring contract.

James delivered a championship to Los Angeles in 2020, but at 40, he's still chasing another ring—this time alongside Luka Doncic.
He will enter a record-breaking 23rd NBA season in 2025-26.
