So far this season, James has averaged 28.5 points, 7.5 rebounds and 6.6 assists per game, shooting 52.3%, 37-year-old James is still the level of an NBA superstar, there is no need to rely on the former name to eat, James is still the only shoulder handle of the Lakers, even if the thick eyebrow brother and Westbrook are younger than James, but James is the youngest player to play, perhaps James has never been old.
Yes, James is still the peak performance, but age will not lie, James is 37 years old, as an NBA legendary superstar even if he retires immediately, you think James's biggest wish at the moment is to lead the Lakers to win another championship, in fact, James has a championship heart that cannot be underestimated at the same time, James's 37-year-old wish is to compete with his son Brownie.
James, who was interviewed, imagined working with his eldest son Brownie in the future, James was very direct and not afraid of people saying that he was going to play father-son basketball, James said: "I hope he (Brownie) can play in the NBA, I hope to play with him, I think it was an incredible moment." ", there is no mistake, James not only hopes that Brownie can play in the NBA, but also hopes to play with brownie on the same team, this is the wish of 37-year-old James, now he is a professional player, but also a father, the expectation of his son is also a qualified father's wish, the question is whether the era of father-son basketball in James's imagination can come?
Let's first talk about Brownie's current situation, Brownie needs to be qualified for the NBA draft until 2024, which means that James needs to play until the 2023-24 season before it can be expected to achieve the father-son basketball wish. James's current contract will end in 2023, according to James's current personal data and performance, there is no suspense in renewing the Lakers with the maximum salary this summer, unless James does not want to renew, that is to say, James' contract will not end in 2024, when Brownie has NBA draft qualifications, and James will play in the NBA.
With the theory that James won't leave the NBA early, the most important question is whether Brownie can land in the NBA in 2024? If it were not for james's son, Brownie would not get attention now, because Brownie is not the first high school student in the United States, and Brownie's high school ranking is 50th, as he grows older, Brownie's problems are more and more, his possibility of playing in the NBA in the future is getting lower and lower, and similar to Jordan's son, Brownie is not too advanced under a good life, his girlfriends have changed several times, and he has learned vices such as "smoking", which have become stumbling blocks for Brownie to land in the NBA.
Not to mention whether Brownie has the talent of his father James, at least on the road to professional players, Brownie does not have the self-discipline, hard work and diligence of his father James, if Brownie can not establish some beliefs, then Jordan can not see his son play in the NBA, James may not be able to see his son play in the NBA, and James's father and son's wish to compete in the same game may not be realized.
Of course, we want to see the arrival of James's father-son era, whether James is in the Lakers or the Cavaliers to end his career, I believe that the top management of these teams are willing to promote James's father and son to play together, provided that Brownie does not let his father James and the fans down, and James's peak may continue to 2024, even if James is 40 years old, I believe James is a qualified starter.
