NBA superstar LeBron James stole the spotlight at Bad Bunny’s concert in Puerto Rico, showing off his dance moves as speculation grows about his future with the Los Angeles Lakers. The four-time MVP attended the opening night of Bad Bunny’s residency at Coliseo de Puerto Rico, enthusiastically grooving to hits like “Titi Me Preguntó” and “Me Porto Bonito” alongside the global music icon.
The concert appearance comes amid increasing tension between James and the Lakers organisation. Multiple reports indicate the franchise has begun planning for a future without the 20-time All-Star, focusing instead on potentially acquiring Dallas Mavericks’ Luka Dončić. ESPN analysts Brian Windhorst and Ramona Shelburne revealed the Lakers declined to offer James a contract extension, signalling a possible end to their six-year partnership.

James fueled speculation about his next career move with a cryptic social media post before the concert. Written in Spanish, his message translates to: “Benito! I’m at the Los Angeles airport right now, coming to see you! I heard about what you have planned for tomorrow night… LFG!” During the performance, Bad Bunny joined James and his entourage for an energetic dance segment that went viral across social media platforms.

The Lakers’ apparent shift in focus coincides with James spending more time in his home state of Ohio. The Akron native has been training in Cleveland rather than Los Angeles during the offseason, sparking rumours about a potential return to the Cavaliers. James led Cleveland to their only NBA championship in 2016, overcoming the 73-win Golden State Warriors in a historic Finals comeback.

As the Lakers quietly assemble a new core that could feature Dončić, DeAndre Ayton, and Austin Reaves, James appears to be enjoying his offseason. His enthusiastic concert participation and social media activity suggest the 39-year-old legend remains in peak physical condition while maintaining his status as a global pop culture icon beyond basketball.
