Change "by many as the greatest.." to "by many as one of the greatest." The way it's written right now is misleading, as most analysts and experts still consider Michael Jordan as the greatest. 2606:A000:4C11:9A00:3488:869D:C207:4143 (talk) 19:56, 20 May 2018 (UTC)

Just a quick grammar fix that I would do if not for semi-protected status: "of all-time" in the second sentence should be "of all time." Whirligig231 (talk) 05:40, 30 May 2018 (UTC)

 Done @Whirligig231: Thanks for pointing that out! --JustBerry (talk) 05:51, 30 May 2018 (UTC)

There are still three instances of this error that need to be fixed.

James been to the Finals nine times (eight in a row)

Paragraph two of the "Player Profile" section states that "James has appeared in the Finals eight times and won three championships." As of 31/05, he has appeared in nine total, eight in a row. I'm not sure how to edit the page, but I thought I should bring it to someone's attention.

Vandalism under "activism"

Just noticed that one of the pictures under the "activism" subsection reads: "James, First Lady Michelle Obama, and Dwyane Wade tape a public service announcement with the forbidden fruit, January 2014." (picture is of James wit the Obamas behind a bowl of apples). Someone with an account should fix that :/ — Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.236.194.231 (talk) 01:27, 8 June 2018 (UTC)

Another run with Free Agency(2018)

As the 2017-2018 NBA Season started to come along, there were several discussions about where James was heading to in the 2018 NBA offseason as he would expect to become an unrestricted free agent. Many people have suggested LeBron going to the Philadelphia 76ers, the Los Angeles Lakers, the New York Knicks, the San Antonio Spurs, the Boston Celtics, and the Houston Rockets as these teams are the front runners to pick up James in the offseason if Lebron decides to leave the Cavaliers. If Lebron opts out of his contract, then he will become an unrestricted free agent on July 1, 2018. Another discussion that as also made headlines throughout the NBA is LeBron opted into his contract and try to get traded to another team which is very similar to what Chris Paul did last season as he joined the Houston Rockets as several players were traded to the Los Angeles Clippers. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Broganlarose32 (talk • contribs) 23:47, 14 June 2018 (UTC)

I wanna edit the leBron page because there is false information and because he hasn't left the Cleveland Cavaliers yet, even though it says he has.

 Not done: He’s a free agent, which doesnt preclude him from re-signing with Cleveland. We will see.—Bagumba (talk) 09:16, 1 July 2018 (UTC)

Edit request

The Lakers header either needs to removed or reworded to say something like "James agreed to a 4 year contract worth $154 million on July 1, 2018. However, he cannot officially sign the contract until July 6."--Rockchalk717 00:55, 2 July 2018 (UTC)

It’s been removed that he "signed”, which is WP:OR from breaking news that he "agreed" to terms.—Bagumba (talk) 01:10, 2 July 2018 (UTC)

@Bagumba: Exactly why I wanted it changed. Thank you.--Rockchalk717 01:40, 2 July 2018 (UTC)

Lakers

I understand that the signing is not official, but it should be reported that as of July 1, 2018, LeBron James has made a verbal commitment to sign with the LA Lakers. Not changing the team in the infobox, just noting that at the bottom of the career section. 47.186.22.140 (talk) 04:45, 2 July 2018 (UTC)

There needs to be consensus to add this. Once that exists, you can make a request using {{Edit fully-protected}}. Alternatively, the signing will likely be announced after the July moratorium on July 6, when it should be more straightforward to update. Regards.—Bagumba (talk) 08:02, 2 July 2018 (UTC)

That's the most accurate phrasing. He's not on the Lakers yet (understandable popular misconceptions notwithstanding) but he's announced, through an agent, that he will be and it seems silly to ignore that entirely. ShaleZero (talk) 15:29, 2 July 2018 (UTC)

I believe that Lebron has in fact signed with the Lakers,As his agency released a statement on the issue. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bferrari260 (talk • contribs) 18:30, 2 July 2018 (UTC)

LEBRON JAMES IN LAS ANGELES:

After becoming a free agent, on July 1st, 2018 Lebron James signed a 4-year contract with the Las Angeles Lakers for $154 million dollars. 50.98.108.136 (talk) 07:40, 2 July 2018 (UTC)

Not done He has only agreed in principle. No signings can take place during the July moratorium.—Bagumba (talk) 07:55, 2 July 2018 (UTC)

Lakers

LeBron is now on the Los Angles Lakers. He signed a four year, $153.3 million deal with the fourth year reportedly being a players option — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.87.45.2 (talk) 14:12, 2 July 2018 (UTC)

I would like to add that he now plays for the Lakers. Why is this not already there? Yotwu better update this or else you are the biggest idiot to ever come on to Wiki. 2601:249:800:415F:E5F3:F904:E79F:3250 (talk) 14:31, 2 July 2018 (UTC)

LA LAKERS

All world knows that. Only[REDACTED] redactors had problem. LOL !!! We have NBA.com and Dan Gilbert - announcements and of course and most important info from agency who represents Lebron, right ? LOL — Preceding unsigned comment added by JeffTomVoll (talk • contribs) 15:25, 2 July 2018 (UTC)

@JeffTomVoll: The issue isn't that he has agreed to the contract. The issue is we do not change the page until they sign their contract. He has not signed his contract and cannot until noon eastern time on the 6th.--Rockchalk717 19:17, 2 July 2018 (UTC)

team 3-Los Angeles Lakers Lebron James Free agency, signed with Lakers 4 years 154 million. JordanLebron23 (talk) 17:12, 2 July 2018 (UTC)

Deal with Lakers

On July 1, 2018, James signed a four-year, $153.3 million contract with the Los Angeles Lakers.

Due to the July moratorium, he cannot sign until Friday at the earliest. For that matter, his jerseys wont even ship until he signs: “Lakers LeBron Jerseys won't ship until the deal is signed, which could happen as early as noon on Friday.”—Bagumba (talk) 21:18, 2 July 2018 (UTC)
