The biggest melon in the NBA today is not the individual games, but an interview James gave today, which released a lot of fierce material. Among them, a sentence said by James directly rushed to the first place in the national hot search.
Speaking about his career plans, James said: "I don't play mid-level (middle-class contract) basketball. I'm not going to come back for anything below the peak (cap) (cavalier). ”
Athletes at James's level, even at the age of 40, are proper salaries. Not to mention the state, as long as James sits off the court, the ticket revenue alone is worth the maximum salary.
James also sent a signal to the league's 30 teams, saying: "I will spend the last year of my career with my son. Where brownies are, I'm there. 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. ”
It is this sentence that rushed to the first hot search in the United States, before we always said that James would wait for Brownie to enter the league before considering retiring, and even imagined James and his son's team.
James talked about this matter for the first time today, and it is also the first time to reveal to the outside world that he wants to play with his son. The media and fans speculated before it was false, but James actually said so, and things are different.
Brownie graduated from high school today and went to college, and will be eligible for the election as soon as next year. James's words are equivalent to saying in disguise: If you want me, choose Brownie.
Many people will say that James is escorting his son into the NBA, but in fact, even without James's words, Brownies are likely to enter the NBA.
Brownie fell sharply in the 2023 rookie pick, falling all the way from the first round to 50+. But since 2022, Brownie has used his performance to predict another increase in the pick.
In the last game, Brownie had 14 points, 8 rebounds, 6 assists, 3 steals and 2 blocks. In the previous game, Brownie had 23 points, three steals and four assists. Currently in the 2023 rookie pick prediction, Brownie is on the 32nd pick.
Of course, there is still more than a year to go before the Brownie draft, and coincidentally, James' contract with the Lakers will also expire in the summer of 2023, and it is believed that James also took into account the son's factor when he renewed his contract before.
At the current 2023 draft, the Thunder are definitely the biggest winners because they have four first-round picks. Choosing a Brownie, accompanied by a James retirement tour, I seem to understand why the Thunder hoarded so many draft picks.
