LeBron James, 41, launches YouTube golf channel with 2016 Cavaliers teammates in Scotland for championship reunion
LeBron James , 41, has officially entered the YouTube golf space with a new channel focused on his life around the sport. The video is more than 90 minutes long and brings back a group that shared one of the biggest wins in Cavaliers history. Fear The Sword reported in June that the group had reunited in Europe for the 10 year anniversary of the championship. Cleveland came back from a 3 1 deficit against the Golden State Warriors in the 2016 NBA Finals and won the franchise’s first championship.
The Score confirmed that James, Smith, Thompson, Jefferson, Frye and Love played at Castle Stuart Golf Links for the first episode.
His first video, “The 2016 Cavs 10 Year Reunion Golf Scramble,” follows James and five former Cleveland Cavaliers teammates during their Scotland trip to mark 10 years since their 2016 NBA championship. He told The Hollywood Reporter, “Golf has given me the challenge I need as a competitor. He also said he is still learning the game and wants viewers to follow that process.
The reunion had already taken place in June, when the former teammates traveled around the United Kingdom and later visited Saint Tropez. Golf was a major part of that trip, making it a natural choice for James’ first YouTube project. For James, golf has become another way to compete. The choice of his former Cavaliers teammates gives the first episode a clear link to one of James’ most important NBA moments. That history is part of what makes the Scotland footage different from a standard celebrity golf video. James is not simply playing a round with famous friends. He is returning to a group of players who were beside him during a championship that remains closely tied to his career. The new channel now gives James a regular space to show that side of his life, starting with the teammates and memories that helped make his first golf episode possible.
