LeBron James denied a report by ESPN that he signed with the Lakers as a free agent in 2018 partly due to how the organization handled Kobe Bryant’s final seasons of his career with great care.

Bryant, a five -time NBA champ, played his final game on April 13, 2016 , and the Lakers retired his numbers 8 and 24 on December 18, 2017 .

James signed a two-year extension worth $101.35 million to the Lakers in July .
