Robert Horry, who won seven NBA championships, talks to Fox News Digital about the Lakers, LeBron James and Brittney Griner.

LeBron James reportedly agreed to a two-year contract extension with the Los Angeles Lakers on Wednesday. The deal is worth $97.1 million and includes a 15% trade kicker, ESPN reported.

With the deal, he’s set to become the highest-earning player in NBA history, passing current Brooklyn Nets star Kevin Durant at $532 million in guaranteed money just from the league.

The deal puts to rest any speculation about what James may do next. He only had one year left on his current deal with the Lakers.
