Last week, James agreed to a 2-year, $85 million contract extension with the Lakers that will keep him with the team through the 2022-23 season. This will be 35-year-old's 18th year win the NBA and third with the team.
Jim Hill spoke to LeBron at Lakers training camp for the first time since October and asked what it was like to go into a season defending a title.
"I guess the bullseye just becomes even greater, if that's even possible," James said. "For me personally, the bullseye has always been on my back, or my front since I entered the league."
