LeBron James is not just featured in a new Amazon commercial; he’s also focused on recovering from a knee injury in preparation for his upcoming training camp.

The superstar of the Los Angeles Lakers is expected to start his 23rd season in the NBA, which would set a record. Currently, he shares the record of 22 seasons with Vince Carter and Robert Parish. However, before making his return, James is concentrating on rest and rehabilitation after injuring his knee during the Lakers’ playoff elimination game against the Minnesota Timberwolves.

At 40 years old, James reports that his left knee is feeling “good” following a ligament sprain he suffered in April. He highlights the importance of maintaining his physical fitness through disciplined nutrition and workout routines.

“I have ample time to focus on recovering from my injury and getting my whole body ready for the start of training camp in late September,” James said during an interview regarding the commercial titled “What’s Next?,” which promotes the upcoming Prime Day event from July 8-11.

James also mentioned his expanding partnership with Amazon, which includes launching a men’s grooming line and co-hosting the “Mind the Game” podcast with NBA icon Steve Nash.

In the ad, when asked about retirement speculation, James shifts the conversation to his upcoming deals. Although the NBA’s top all-time scorer may be intrigued by discounts, his competitive spirit remains undiminished, with a strong commitment to practices, training, and game preparations.

A key motivation for his continuous drive is his family. James credits the unwavering belief of his wife, Savannah, and their three children as a source of inspiration. He looks forward to playing alongside his eldest son, Bronny, who is with the Lakers, as well as supporting his other children as they pursue their goals.

“My children have never pressured me to end my career. They’ve said, ‘Dad, chase your dreams. This is your life, continue to focus on what you love,’” he remarked.

James anticipates the conclusion of his storied career is approaching but isn’t certain when that will occur. He mused on the prospect of playing with his son Bryce, who will be eligible to enter the draft in 2026, calling it “insane” if it happens.

“At this stage, thoughts about retirement enter your mind, as is natural. You wonder if this might be the year. But I haven’t set a specific timeline; I’m taking it as it comes, gauging how I feel physically and what my family’s dynamics are,” he added.
