At this point, LeBron James is to golf what LeBron James is to basketball. OK, well \u2026 maybe not exactly that, but it does look like the four-time NBA champ is about to have a lot of time to work on his swing between basketball games. And for no extra cost! Don\u2019t be surprised if he\u2019s teeing off at the American Century Championship<\/a> before long.<\/p>\n

While Indecision 2026 reaches yet another week\/month\/lifetime<\/a>, multiple cities in the hunt for LeBron are attempting to sweeten the pot with the NBA great\u2019s latest obsession. That\u2019s right; it\u2019s all about the golf. And Cleveland and Philadelphia golf companies have reached out to their hopeful local franchise\u2019s savior with bonkers deals that are tough to turn down.<\/p>\n

Jim Basar, the owner of West Bank Golf Club near Rocket Arena in Cleveland, told TMZ<\/a> that if the superstar were to choose his former Cavaliers team again, \u201call his services are on the house.\u201d He added that, \u201cLeBron James is welcome for free any day, any time \u2026 his membership is on us!\u201d<\/p>\n

That indoor golf simulator is just minutes away from the Cavs’ new training facility, and despite being a billionaire, we know LeBron can\u2019t pass up a good deal<\/a>. Plus, 18Lab Golf, an improvement center in Cleveland, wants to throw in a \u201cprivate bay and free instruction with our pro, Jeff [Blais].\u201d<\/p>\n

Not to be outdone, a fellow LeBron James-potential city, Philadelphia, is appealing to the 41-year-old\u2019s golf side. Robert Kram, the CEO of The Sporting Club at The Bellevue, announced that LeBron could get whatever he wants out of their facilities.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Sporting Club at The Bellevue is willing to partner with LeBron for all of his fitness and golf needs,” Kram said. “If we could do anything to get LeBron to the Sixers, we would do whatever it takes.”<\/p>\n

Just the other day, LeBron even discussed just how much golf is weighing into his decision-making. What a time we\u2019re living in.<\/p>\n

“Golf is a sport that you can play for the rest of your life. … My main focus while I\u2019m playing the game of basketball is to keep the main thing the main thing. … I\u2019ll find a golf simulator if I\u2019m in the cold for sure.\u201d<\/p>\n

The cold, you say? Sounds like he\u2019s leaning towards \u2026\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"At this point, LeBron James is to golf what LeBron James is to basketball.
