LeBron’s $52M Dilemma: Underpaid or Time to Retire? | HARD PASS Ep. 10

LeBron James just opted in for a record-breaking 23rd NBA season at $52.6 million—but is that too much, or somehow not enough? As pressure mounts from his family, his agent, and a shaky Lakers roster, the question isn’t just about legacy—it’s about value. What does the King really owe…to himself, to the game, or to winning one last ring?
