For Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James, 41, the end is nigh. It will come soon, whether with the Lakers or another team, and it likely will come with all the adulation one of North American sports' all-time greats deserves.

Bronny James sounds prepared to spend the summer ducking rumors and concentrating on the work necessary to become a contributor during his second NBA season with the Lakers.

The second-year guard says he doesn't pay attention to the rumors about his superstar father possibly seeking a trade. "He just tells me not to worry about it."
