LeBron James makes bold player option move as Golden State Warriors rumors spark NBA buzz
LeBron James makes bold player option move as Golden State Warriors rumors spark NBA buzz (Image Source: Getty Images) Lebron James just made a big move in the NBA season as he picked up his player option for the 2025–26 season, confirming that he was returning for a 23 year in the league. But this does not mean that he is locked with the Los Angeles Lakers. Trade rumors, especially involving the Golden State Warriors, heat holding fans who guess what is going on for the NBA legend. LeBron James confirms return for 2025–26 season amid ongoing trade noise On July 6, LeBron James chose to pick up his player option for the 2025–26 NBA season, marking his 23rd year in the league. The 39-year-old forward is expected to stay with the Los Angeles Lakers for now, but his future beyond that remains open. This news was first reported by ESPN, following a direct update from Rich Paul, LeBron's longtime agent and CEO of Klutch Sports Group. Speaking to ESPN, Paul said: 'LeBron wants to compete for a championship. We know the Lakers are looking ahead to the future. We take time to consider what is best for him at this stage of his career. " This statement was wondering if Lebron could still be on the move, especially with recent talk that connected him to the Golden State Warriors. Golden State Warriors linked again after Olympic run with Stephen Curry Back in early 2024, there were reports from Sporting News that the Golden State Warriors tried to trade for LeBron James before the deadline. He stayed with the Lakers, but whispers of a possible move never really went away. After the Paris Olympics in 2024, these rumors picked up again. Lebron James and Stephen Curry both played for Team USA, helping them win gold by defeating France 98-87 in the final. Their chemistry on the court reignited talk about joining up in the NBA. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo LeBron James makes bold player option move as Golden State Warriors rumors spark NBA buzz (Image Source: Getty Images) This week, a report by The Athletic named the Warriors as a potential destination for LeBron.

Leo Atang: Is this teenage boxer from York who just won his pro debut the 'next Anthony Joshua'?
"He is, in my opinion, the man to follow in the footsteps of Anthony Joshua and ignite the heavyweight division." Such a comparison is bound to weigh heavy, no matter how big their shoulders are. Coming from Eddie Hearn, the man who led Joshua's charge to world title glory, it carries added weight. Yet, 18-year-old Leo Atang showed no sign of any pressure during his professional debut in Manchester last night. The youngster from York made light work of his Bulgarian opponent Milan Paunev - 23 years his senior - showing all the strength, poise and stamina that had Hearn and many others fighting amongst themselves to secure his signature. Speaking to Calendar ahead of Saturday's fight, Atang admitted he wasn't always destined to throw punches for a living. "None of my family are boxers. My personality is the opposite of a boxer. I definitely wasn't one of those kids you'd avoid in the playground. I was always a happy active kid so I thought boxing would fit well for me." Atang first walked into Legion's gym in York as an unruly 10-year-old. Initially, his trainer Ashley Martin wasn't impressed. "Bounced in, smiling, messed around for the entire session. I stood there thinking 'I really hope this kid doesn't come back.'" Thankfully for Martin and the boxing world, Atang did come back. His strength and resilience was evident to all who saw him. With some expert coaching this kid had a chance. Atang would go on to dominate the amateur boxing scene, winning five national titles and the under 19 World Championship last year. But instead of treading the same route as Anthony Joshua and joining the Team GB Olympic pathway, Atang chose to turn professional. In March, Atang signed with Eddie Hearn's Matchroom Promotions. His goal now, to become a world champion. Martin says "The lad will be the people's champion. They loved Frank Bruno back in the 90's. This is going to be Frank Bruno take two." Joshua, Bruno. Who next? Tyson? Ali? Over the years, many have been labelled the next big thing in heavyweight boxing. Many have crumbled under the pressure. Why is this 18-year-old from York any different? "I do truly believe it and a lot of people do believe in me as well, and I feel we can get it done." Atang doesn't lack in confidence. Neither does Joshua.
