LeBron James was recently spotted playing basketball in Saudi Arabia. The Los Angeles Lakers superstar was seen spending time there in clips shared by Bleacher Report on Instagram (credit ksabasket on X). The caption read, “Bron in Saudi.” The background of the gym, where the four-time NBA MVP was playing, displayed “Ministry of Sport.”

LeBron James might be preparing himself for a potential one-year, $1 billion deal to play overseas once he retires from the NBA. Even in retirement, he’ll remain a massive superstar and one of the best basketball players in the world. He had previously joked about such a high-priced deal in a tweet, referring to the trend of Middle Eastern teams signing top athletes.

According to Sideline Sources, King James also played a pickup game with the Saudi women’s national basketball team.
