Could LeBron James Join Nikola Jokic in 2026?
Sometimes, it doesn’t take a Woj bomb to break the internet. All it takes is a photo, a caption, and four words.
LeBron James may be vacationing in Saint-Tropez, but even from a yacht he’s still dominating NBA headlines. It started with a casual Instagram story — a shoutout to golfer Bubba Watson — but the real shock came hours later.
Nikola Jokic’s agent, Misko Raznatovic, posted a picture on a luxury boat alongside LeBron and Maverick Carter. His caption? “The summer of 2025 is the perfect time to make big plans for the fall of 2026!”
That single sentence was enough to set Lakers and Nuggets fans into a frenzy. Could LeBron actually team up with Jokic for one last title run?
The logistics are messy. LeBron is signed with the Lakers through 2026, while Jokic remains under contract with Denver until 2027. But in the NBA, stranger things have happened.
For LeBron, pairing with Jokic isn’t just symbolic — it’s strategic. If he wants to close his career with another ring, there’s no better partner than the reigning MVP.
One yacht photo. One caption. Four words. And just like that, the NBA has another offseason mystery.
