Consider me skeptical.

His marketing people certainly haven't given their input just yet. I do think the farewell tour thing is a likely occurrence.

As much as I love to hate Lebron, his impact on the game cannot be ignored. I am ok with him getting the Jeter treatment on the way out of basketball. If he runs a farewell season, I hope the Knicks run some sort of Rucker Park themed farewell crossover for him. Maybe play the game with Rucker park style jerseys. Do some sort of tribute both at Rucker and MSG. It would be classy.

He's the only player who can keep Irving focused enough, to go the distance.

It's about how much of a pay cut LeBron is willing to take,to build a serious contender. He can be the 3rd option if he wanted to. If it's about rings> $$$$. Not his only income stream.

James dropped 40 in a losing effort. By no means washed.

Lebron sending a message to his puppet Adam Silver he better get him Kyrie and another superstar

Lame

Twice?
If we draft Bronny not becuase of dad, but what he can bring then having him as. 40 year role player for year could be fun.

Yes, dissed us 2010 after teasing for two years he was coming here and even made the announcement in Connecticut and signed with our most hated rival. That is unforgivable imo.

Don't really care to have him as a babysitter at 40 either. And we don't even know if his kid is any good yet. I have a feeling he is overhyped simply because he's LeBum's kid but we'll see how he does next season.

I just really hate LeBron and could never root for him personally.

Your hate runs deep. The decision counts twice? LOL< OK. Obviously Bronny has to prove himself as draft worthy so thats one thing. One does not draft him so he and Lebron can sit on the bench together.

No LOL I could be wrong but didn't he refuse to even meet with us in 2014 when he was a free agent?

I doubt it. He was b-lining it to Clev and if you did not hate him that was kind of a cool thing he did. he came back and got cavs a chip for the people. I won’t talk you into it.
MY take is Lebron was an arrogant immature prick. But he has stayed in a marriage, seems like a decent dad, is socially active, builds schools.
I think your referencing when Lebron and his group rented a box in MSG and Phil said they were rude and were a “posse” or something like that”. He thought phill was being a bit racist.

It was a bad look for both of them from what I recall.

Michael, Magic, Kobe all had some really bad off court looks to them. Mike had a bad marriage and infidelities, compulsive gambler, and a very weird “Retirement” from the league. Magic tried to out**** Wilt, which is not a bad thing unless your married with kids and get aids. Kobe raped a women.

Im a little older than you likely and learned along time ago to at worst just appreciate the game and not the guys.
The hype of Bird and Magic was hard to digest and I really did not care for either because the league shoved it down our throats to save the league in the cocaine era. It was a problem. David Thompson was jordan before jordan but the blow killed his career. He tore his ACL falling down stairs in a night club.
Jordan ripped our hearts out,, showed it to us, then put it back and and did it year after year. I hated him. But the talent was hard to deny. Kobe, the player was awesome but the man needed to mature. He grew as a man and made amends with his past.

I feel Lebron never needed to go that far as his indiscretions were not as severe. The decision was misguided and arrogant. Does it define him as man? Basketball player? That he was so empowered as a player to dictate who and where he played? And that not all the decisions he made panned out?
