So far, LeBron James has not given his thoughts on the trip and has not spoken to media members while on the trip.

NBA teams will report to training camp on Sept. 27, so James will likely return to the United States in the weeks to come.

When he does, expect King James to field several questions regarding his trip. With sports leagues around the world taking heat for accepting Saudi investments, James will likely be asked about his trip.
