Luka Dončić's max extension with the Los Angeles Lakers makes him the new front-facing star of the team -- not LeBron James, an aging superstar playing the final years of a future Hall of Fame career. Still, James remains "supportive" of the franchise's move to lock in Dončić at three years and $165 million, according to ESPN's Shams Charania.

LeBron James will be entering his 23rd NBA campaign next season, presumably with the Los Angeles Lakers, and there is plenty of attention surrounding his future. Recent speculation questioned whether the 40-year-old had requested a trade or contract buyout.

LeBron James reportedly congratulated Luka Dončić on his three-year, $165 million extension with the Los Angeles Lakers during a Saturday morning FaceTime call, according to NBA insider Marc Stein.
