LeBron James tweeted out his intention to make a podcast appearance sometime soon, but he didn’t reveal whether he would appear on someone else’s show or make a podcast of his own. While it is fair to assume either decision will ensure LeBron appears under the ‘UNINTERRUPTED‘ media banner, there is a lot of excitement for LeBron to possibly start his own podcast.
Considering the success that Draymond Green and J.J. Redick are having with their podcasts, LeBron can make a much bigger impact with his massive fanbase if he decided to step into that space even on a non-regular basis, similar to Kevin Durant and his ‘ETCs’ podcast.
YouTuber and basketball analyst Kenny Beecham asked a question on Twitter about what should LeBron name his podcast, and the responses provided some absolute gems from the fans.

The voice LeBron James has would make a massive impact if he could communicate with fans regularly. While there will always be trolls, LeBron is an extremely notable person and even the trolls will regularly tune in to these podcasts to listen to what LB has to say. Hating on him further increases his voice because at least everyone is tuned in.
A platform like the one he has can be extremely powerful depending on how LeBron uses it. If he is talking about basketball, his takes on the game will generate more interest than anything one can hear on the major sports networks and that is including other legendary players who are now analysts.
LeBron using his voice to further talk about social issues and racial empowerment on a more regular basis is a likelihood also, which allows him to further spread his message more consistently through his own words rather than how others report on him. This could be a massive thing if LeBron uses it to its full extent, and fans are already waiting with bated breath.
