Lebron James is set to debut in the NBA G League very soon. This comes after hearing James will not play in the Oklahoma City Thunder premier matchup on Wednesday.
He will start practicing with the South Bay Lakers on full scrimmage practices and try to return to normalcy after a deal with sciatica.
The Lakers have nothing to worry as Luka Doncic is the top superstar in the NBA right now and Austin Reeves is converting 30 points on 48 percent shooting.
According to reports, Kevin Durant is not interested in playing for the Minnesota Timberwolves. In fact, I do not think there is peace of mind when it comes to basketball with Kevin Durant from Brooklyn to Phoenix.
Durant has dealt with rough stints and after making the decision to leave Oklahoma City, it has left this emptiness of peace and chasing away Golden State. Truth be told, KD has a redemption story like anybody to tell with the Los Angeles Lakers considering Lebron James would like to possibly play and Luka Doncic is the main superstar.
Bronny James has to shoot the ball based off his premise so it would not hurt to learn from one of the best shot creators and improve. The bench such as Hachimura, Reeves, and coach Redick would all benefit along and learn from a natural talent and bring joy to the faces of L.A. fans.
Again, Durant is a natural talent being squandered hardly imagined. Sports Kingdom listed out the top destinations for Durant earlier such as Philadelphia, New York, Houston, San Antonio, and Miami but Los Angeles would encourage one last drop of sweat to go out and perform on a daily performance as his career winds down.
Today, I woke up thinking Lebron James has been contemplating retirement. After, playing 21 years in the NBA, I think it is time to hang it up in a day and age. The league is petty, as Colin Cowherd might describe it these days on national airwaves.
MLB had its heyday during its national pastime and is still being seen across the diamond. Meanwhile, NFL has expanded and NHL continues to dominate at a pace unimaginable with rising prospects.
Everyone talks about so many scenarios including Barstool Sports owner Dave Portnoy investing in a new league of men and women that include Caitlin Clark and others such as possibly Anthony Edwards and past greats.
James is a time of the past now and is foreshadowed by stars such as Luka Doncic and Anthony Davis who can still produce some great seasons in Dallas or elsewhere.
Things are on the table and honestly the league is starting to go absolutely bland under Adam Silver’s vision. You could imagine Lebron has so much power in the NBA and across seas over China, he might become the next and first basketball commissioner of color in America after playing with Bronny James and establishing many great relationships eternally.
Lebron James is one of the greatest of all-time. No qualms about that, but what can be said is the man is dialing in all cylinders whether its championships (4), finals MVP’S (4), most valuable player awards (4), and fourth all-time assists (11,481).
He is even a 21-time NBA All-Star who unfortunately missed out on the game this year.
But, what I am about to say is intriguing and it has no relation to Bronny James entering the league through his father bestowal.
Lebron has not overachieved simple because he has earned the right to say so. He has won numerous awards as talked about and works hard in the gym. He sets goals like Jordan, just not seen on the court.
He makes it look so easy based off his dribble penetration, fadeaway shot, and most importantly his understanding for getting back on defense or rebounding. I think that it was goes deemphasized on replays and in his discussion/huddles with now J.J. Redick is to be aggressive and tell his sons and build off the necessary team work ethic possible to win basketball games in trailing one’s or seasons transpiring between Luka Doncic and him which is allowing the course of the Show time Los Angeles Lakers to stay on steam and balance in transition for a heavy Slovenian player rooted on by his critical father and 40 year old fundamental star who as I said before can every youngster, from Kobe Bryant bestow about the things and lights of basketball.
This is a game not to be erased some by the fact of 21 years! Lebron James has not overachieved and you should be mesmerized by the fact that he scored and shot 50,000 career points as part of the Cleveland Cavaliers, Miami Heat, and Los Angeles Lakers.
Kareem Abdul Jabaar like many of the centers of the traditional league and past helped cultivate an understanding that you could do it as a bigger man like Lebron James and score between tenures in a small market such as Milwaukee and Los Angeles.
Kareem helped catapult alongside Magic Johnson to NBA championship rings and Lebron James will look to do so now, this year, in California.
