LeBron James said he has never been to Israel but hopes to visit one day, inspire his fans there, and has heard nothing but good things about the country.
After his comments about first-time NBA All-Star Deni Avdija made headlines, Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James said he would love to visit Israel in the future.

“I’ve never been there. But if I have fans there, I hope I inspire people over there not only to be great in sports but to be better in general in life,” LeBron said at the All-Star Weekend. “Hopefully, someday I can make it over there. I’ve heard nothing but great things.”
James recently called Avdija “a big-time player” and advocated for him to earn a spot in the 2026 All-Star Game in Los Angeles.
Meanwhile, the 41-year-old LeBron is still undecided about his future beyond the 2025-26 season.
“When I know, you guys will know,” he told reporters. “I don’t know. I have no idea. I just want to live, that’s all.”
