NBA superstar LeBron James has splashed out an incredible £17 million on a new mansion in Los Angeles.

The Cleveland Cavaliers forward, 32, spared no expense in landing the Brentwood residence, complete with all the fittings you’d expect from one of the wealthiest men in sport.

James’ new place includes eight bedrooms, nine-and-a-half bathrooms… and even an elevator to get around.

On top of that, the LA mansion comes complete with a home cinema, wine cellar, and cigar room.

Elsewhere in the 15,836 sq ft home, there is a spa, complete with gym, steam room, and sauna, to relax after the grind of a long season.

LeBron will become a free agent in the summer, with many wondering whether he may consider leaving Cleveland again – having led them to a famous NBA Championship in 2016.

Reports have suggested that the purchase of the LA home is not an indication LeBron James will join the Lakers or Clippers. LeBron James speaks after home vandalized with racial slur.

The massive mansion includes eight bedrooms and nine-and-a-half bathrooms.

However, a local reporter insisted: “Nothing should be construed about James’ future in Cleveland from the purchase.”

It’s worth noting that James already had one home in Brentwood, Los Angeles – suggesting a move to the Lakers or Clippers is not on the card

LeBron is incredibly enjoying arguably one of the best seasons of his long, distinguished career.

Despite his age, the forward has been putting up incredible numbers all year as he looked to drag his Cavaliers roster to another NBA title.

LeBron James could, in theory, be playing basketball in Los Angeles next season, as he goes into free agency.

James’ Cavaliers currently sit second in the Eastern Conference, recovering from a slow start to the season to close the gap on former teammate Kyrie Irving’s Boston Celtics.

LeBron’s new home in LA is merely a drop in the ocean for one of sport’s richest men – as the NBA star is currently raking in around £25 million per year at the Cavs.

James’ earnings could bump up even higher next year should he decide to take up his player option to stay in Cleveland for another year.

However, if he rejects that, he will enter free agency, able to sign with any team in the entire NBA.
