LeBron James has held on-court workouts with one or two of his Los Angeles Lakers' teammates at a time at a private location. All of the participants have been tested and practiced social distancing. The Los Angeles Clippers have also had players from their team conducting similar workouts.

Jared Dudley said that players will be allowed to leave the "bubble location" should the season resume. "You will be allowed to leave. Now just because you leave, if we're going to give you that leeway, if you come back with corona, you can't play," said Dudley, citing conversations between Adam Silver and Michele Roberts. Dudley added that there will be rigorous testing within the bubble, which Silver described as a "campus." Disney World in Orlando has emerged as a clear frontrunner for the league's return-to-play site. Dudley said that determining which players are allowed to leave will be part of a team's responsibilities. "Bron, AD and all the top guys we have, we'll be wrapping them in a bubble and not letting them go anywhere. You'll have that be a team rule. Now, it won't be a league, an NBA rule, but you'd want to say, 'Listen, guys, we've come too far. We're going to put our family on hold.'"

LeBron James considered playing in the NFL during the 2011 NBA lockout. "I had no idea how long the lockout was going to be, and myself and my trainer ... we really started to actually train to be a football player," James said. "We started to clock our time in the 40, we started to add a little bit more to our bench presses and things of that nature." James was a wide receiver in high school and was a first-team, all-state player. James received recruiting interest from Notre Dame and Ohio State before focusing on basketball. Jerry Jones went as far as to send James a contract that he has framed. James decided not to play football and went on to win his first NBA title that season.

LeBron James stated that his ability to pass and read the game would have fit perfectly playing alongside Michael Jordan. "Me personally, the way I play the game -- team first -- I feel like my best assets work perfectly with Mike. Mike is an assassin. When it comes to playing the game of basketball, scoring the way he scored the ball, [then] my ability to pass, my ability to read the game plays and plays and plays in advance," said James on his Uninterrupted channel. James said he used to play pickup games with Jordan during Jordan's summer camps at UC-Santa Barbara. James then went on to compare his game to Scottie Pippen. "I saw the things [Scottie Pippen] was able to do with Mike. I just think it would've been a whole 'nother level. Pip was one of my favorite players ... It would've been a whole 'nother level with me being a point forward, with me being that point forward alongside of him during those Chicago runs," added James.
