LeBron James signed a two-year, $85 million extension with the Los Angeles Lakers and he's excited about it lining up with when his son, LeBron James Jr., graduates from high school.

"The best thing about it is the year I'll be a free agent will be the same year my oldest son graduates high school," James said Monday on a videoconference with reporters, making his first comments since the start of training camp. "So I'll have some options to see, for me personally, what I want to do forward, being around my family, being around my son more or continue to play this game I love with great health and great spirits. We'll see."

Bronny James is a sophomore at Sierra Canyon High School and is a consensus top-40 player in his class. The NBA and NBPA could allow high school players to enter the league directly by 2023.

"You want to ask me what was the greatest achievement in my life? If I'm on the same court as my son in the NBA," James said during an ABC production meeting for the 2018 NBA Finals. "That would be No. 1 in my lifetime as an NBA player. ... I've thought about it because my son is about to be 14, and he might be able to get in there a little earlier."

"Play together," play-by-play announcer Mike Breen interjected.

"Or play against," James replied.

James will be 38 after the 22-23 season.
