LeBron James has given his honest take on how he wants to be remembered in the future.

He admitted that his NBA career is fast finishing right before his eyes, but still has a lot more to achieve in other spaces.

Being one of (if not the) best NBA player in history isn’t enough for LeBron.

“From time to time I think about; how do I want to be remembered. And I hope it’s not just the game of basketball,” LeBron said on The Shop. “If it’s just the game of basketball that people talk about me in, I’ve kind of failed my mission.

“The things that I do in my community, the way myself and Savannah raised our kids, my relationship with my single-parent mother, my friendship with my guys, and being able to help my people from my hometown.

“If those conversations don’t hit the barbershops, don’t hit the forums, or whatever the case may be, then I feel like my mission wasn’t completed. I’m still not done. I am old as f**k in basketball terms. But I am young in life. I still have so much more work to do. I am still building my blocks.”

LeBron has done plenty for his community and the community more broadly outside of basketball.

For one, he has an ‘I Promise’ school and has donated large amounts to numerous charities.

No doubt he will commit even more time and money to people in need once he calls time on his incredible NBA career.
