Main Body
James decided to take up golf as a personal goal after turning 40, as he wanted to try activities he was not familiar with. He has emphasized that he enjoys seeking new physical and mental challenges, and he even plans to learn how to play chess. To improve his game, James has worked with golf content creators like Bob Does Sports. Recently, he shared a video of a successful chip shot that resulted in a birdie, which received a lot of attention online.
James 決定在 40 歲之後將高爾夫球作為個人目標，因為他想嘗試他不熟悉的活動。他強調自己喜歡尋求新的身體與心理挑戰，甚至計劃學習如何下棋。為了提升球技，James 與 Bob Does Sports 等高爾夫內容創作者合作。最近，他分享了一段成功切球並拿下 birdie 的影片，在網上引起了許多關注。
Despite his interest in golf, James continued to perform at a high level during the last basketball season. At age 41, he averaged over 20 points, 6.1 rebounds, and 7.2 assists per game. Furthermore, statistics show that he is the only player since Kareem Abdul-Jabbar to average more than 10 points at that age, and his average was significantly higher. Since the Lakers' 2026 playoff run ended in the second round, James now has more free time to practice his golf technique.
儘管對高爾夫球感興趣，James 在上個籃球賽季仍維持高水準的表現。在 41 歲的年紀，他場均得分超過 20 分，6.1 個籃板和 7.2 次助攻。此外，數據顯示他是自 Kareem Abdul-Jabbar 以來，唯一一名在該年齡段場均得分超過 10 分的球員，且其平均分顯著更高。由於湖人隊 2026 年的季後賽在第二輪結束，James 現在有更多空閒時間練習高爾夫技巧。
Regarding his career, James will soon become a free agent, which creates some uncertainty for the Los Angeles Lakers. Although he has been with the team since 2018 and won a championship in 2020, he might consider moving to another team to try and win more titles.
關於他的職業生涯，James 很快將成為自由球員，這為洛杉磯湖人隊帶來了一些不確定性。雖然他自 2018 年起就在隊中並於 2020 年贏得冠軍，但他可能會考慮轉會到另一支球隊，以嘗試贏得更多冠軍。
Conclusion
James is continuing to improve his golf skills while his future contract with the Lakers remains undecided.
James 正在持續提升他的高爾夫技巧，而他與湖人隊的未來合約則尚未決定。
