On February 20, Beijing time, the 2022 All-Star Weekend is underway. In this year's All-Star Game, James was naturally in the spotlight as the all-league ticket king, and he was also the hero of the entire Cleveland, so he received enthusiastic cheers from almost all fans.
At the press conference, James revealed his future plans for his career, and he publicly said that he would play on the same team as his son Brownie in the last season of his career. He said: "I will spend the last year of my career with my son. I'm on which team Brownies are on. As long as I can play with my son for a year, I am willing to do anything. Money is not the point in this matter! ”
According to NBA draft rules, Brownie will participate in the NBA Draft as early as 2023. In recent years, James has repeatedly posted Brownie game videos and highlights on social media to build momentum for his son to enter the NBA. James' current contract with the Lakers will expire after next season.
It is worth mentioning that James subsequently stressed that he had not considered joining the Cavaliers again, but he did not rule out any possibility. He also said it was possible to sign a one-day contract with the Cavaliers in the future and retire, or it could be a longer contract.
As for the question of James' return to the Cavaliers, at today's press conference, a reporter asked about cavaliers player Garland, who replied: "No, we have not discussed James's return to the Cavaliers in the team. We want to create our own legacy and story. It's a whole new look, a whole new feeling, it's Cleveland's rebirth, and it means a lot to all of us. ”
After James publicly said that he would be with Brownie on the same team in the final season of his career, Brownie was quickly rushed to the first place in the Twitter hot search by fans, which is enough to see James's popularity. In addition, with James's statement, Brownie's NBA prospects will undoubtedly be greatly promoted.
