LeBron James just made a move that’s got everyone talking, but not about basketball.
The NBA’s all-time leading scorer launched a YouTube golf channel on August 15, 2026, and his first episode is a 96-minute journey back to Scotland with his 2016 championship Cavaliers squad.
While he’s heading to Philadelphia to chase another ring with the 76ers, his mind’s already on the fairway.
LeBron left the Lakers after eight years to sign a two-year, $8 million deal with the 76ers, taking the largest pay cut of his entire career.
The move came after the Sixers acquired Jaylen Brown, creating a superteam whose championship odds look serious.
While all this is going on, LeBron’s YouTube channel won’t talk about his basketball journey.
Instead, he will chronicle his golfing career, with episodes dropping monthly on Saturdays, and his production company, SpringHill Entertainment, is handling everything behind the scenes.
The first episode reunites him with Kevin Love, J.R. Smith, Richard Jefferson, Tristan Thompson, and Channing Frye at Castle Stuart Golf Links in Scotland.
They’re celebrating the 10-year anniversary of that historic 2016 championship run, and the vibe is pure nostalgia mixed with wine and hilarious commentary.
What’s wild is that LeBron’s treating golf like he treats basketball.
He told The Hollywood Reporter that “Golf has given me the challenge I need as a competitor.”
He’s learning the game seriously, practicing and playing as much as he can, and now he’s bringing millions of people along for the ride. This isn’t just a side hustle or a celebrity vanity project.
He’s genuinely invested in the sport.
The man’s 41 years old, entering his 24th professional season, and instead of slowing down, he’s launching new ventures and chasing new challenges.
The 76ers will tip off their regular season on October 21 against the Golden State Warriors, but before that, there’s a lot of golf content coming your way.
