LeBron James has made another decision: He has launched a YouTube golf channel.<\/p>\n

The NBA\u2019s all-time leading scorer has been very public about expanding his horizons to the fairways, links and greens (and also upset some folks in Memphis while on a golf course<\/a> earlier this season). Now the 41-year-old is making things YouTube official.<\/p>\n

\u201cFollow along as LeBron brings his friends and fans along for the journey as golf takes him to some of the world\u2019s greatest courses,\u201d the description on the page\u2019s first video reads<\/a>. \u201cCome for the game, stay for the great local food, wine, and a whole lot of laughs along the way.\u201d<\/p>\n

The first video features 96 minutes of footage of the reunion of the 2016 Cleveland Cavaliers and their summer golf trip to Scotland. Featuring J.R. Smith, Kevin Love, Richard Jefferson and others, the trip celebrated the 10th anniversary of Cleveland\u2019s only NBA title, when the Cavs rallied from a 3-1 series deficit to defeat the defending champion Golden State Warriors.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

That Scotland trip also came as the basketball world waited on James\u2019 free-agency decision after he announced in late June he would be departing the Los Angeles Lakers. The Cavaliers were considered a front-runner for much of July, but James eventually agreed to join the Philadelphia 76ers on a two-year, $8 million deal.<\/p>\n

Shortly after, The Athletic<\/em>\u2019s Brendan Quinn offered James suggestions for courses he could hit in the Philly area. Maybe one of those will pop up on his YouTube show in the future.<\/p>\n

The big question is where will he play his golf. He can set up shop at Marion, maybe Aronimin, host of this year’s PGA Championship. But then you have to think, the Sixers practice facility is in fact in Camden in South Jersey. Which maybe brings Pine Valley into the picture. Pine Valley, one of the most exclusive courses in the entire country, but maybe he wants to be a man of the people. Maybe he wants to play his golf on public courses. John Cheney’s. The famous Temple coach, one of the great college basketball coaches of all time. His favorite track in the Philadelphia area was Walnut Lane in Roxborough. If you wanted to go find a public round of golf right now in the Philly suburbs, I’d maybe suggest Jeffersonville. Either way, hit them straight, LeBron.”,”ineligibleRegion”:[“BI”,”BY”,”CD”,”CF”,”CU”,”IQ”,”IR”,”KP”,”LB”,”LY”,”ML”,”NI”,”RU”,”SD”,”SO”,”SS”,”SY”,”UA”,”VE”,”YE”,”ZW”],”publisher”:{“@type”:”NewsMediaOrganization”,”@id”:”https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/athletic\/#publisher”,”name”:”The Athletic”,”url”:”https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/athletic\/”,”foundingDate”:”2016-01-25″,”logo”:{“@type”:”ImageObject”,”@id”:”https:\/\/theathletic.com\/app\/themes\/athletic\/assets\/img\/the-athletic-wordmark-black.png”,”url”:”https:\/\/theathletic.com\/app\/themes\/athletic\/assets\/img\/the-athletic-wordmark-black.png”,”contentUrl”:”https:\/\/theathletic.com\/app\/themes\/athletic\/assets\/img\/the-athletic-wordmark-black.png”,”creditText”:”The Athletic”,”height”:”60″,”width”:”435″},”publishingPrinciples”:”https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/athletic\/edit-guidelines\/”,”sameAs”:”https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/The_Athletic”},”author”:[{“@type”:”Person”,”name”:”Brendan Quinn and Johnny Sweet”}]}<\/p>\n
