00:00Welcome back to TMZ Sports, Mike and Mojo Mojo.

00:08The NBA season tips off on Tuesday and LeBron James is going to be starting his 22nd season

00:18in the NBA as if that's not crazy enough to have been in the NBA for 22 years, but still

00:24to be one of the 5 or 10 best players in the world is absolutely incredible.

00:30A lot of fans, Mojo, having the debate, you know, just how much longer will Bron play?

00:37If you ask Mark Cuban, who, sure, he might have sold his stake in the Mavericks, but

00:42he is still operating the franchise, he's still running things in Dallas, we actually

00:48ran into Mark in New York City and we asked him, you know, how much longer do you think

00:53this guy plays?

00:54Oh, by the way, what do you think of Bronny James?

00:56Here's Mark.

00:57Bronny and LeBron.

00:58So, reporters are like, LeBron, let's talk about your son.

01:01He's like, ask my son himself, is it a little too late?

01:04Is it kind of ruining his son's, well, not ruining, but will it hurt his son long term?

01:09No, I think it's great.

01:10I mean, you know, Bronny's still a teenager, you know, and teenagers are still teenagers

01:15no matter who their dad is, trust me, I know.

01:18And so I think it's great just the fact that they get to spend time together and be together

01:22and see the ups and downs and LeBron gets to teach Bronny the ropes.

01:25I think it's amazing.

01:26I would love to be in that position.

01:27Now, is it time for LeBron to finally hang it up after this?

01:30Yes.

01:31LeBron, it's time for you to quit.

01:32I'm tired of you.

01:33Are you being serious?

01:34I'm playing.

01:35No, I'm being serious.

01:36No way.

01:37He's still so good.

01:38I, you know, he's on the Lakers, they're our rival.

01:39So it's time to retire LeBron.

01:40And give his son the shine.

01:41No.

01:42Yes.

01:43Let Bronny step in.

01:44I don't know if the Lakers are down with that plan, Mojo.

01:48Yeah.

01:50Every player on the Lakers should retire regardless if they're a rookie or not, just get the whole

01:54team out of there.

01:55Give us an easy path over here in Dallas.

01:58Yeah.

01:59That's what Mark Cuban wants, obviously kidding there, but you know, interesting to hear his

02:04comments on LeBron and Bronny.

02:06Obviously we've been back and forth on this all the entire sports world has been back

02:11and forth on this.

02:13If you're Bronny, is it better to stay in college and develop, or is it better to go

02:19to the NBA as soon as humanly possible, knowing that you're going to have better resources,

02:24better coaches, and your dad, who is, you know, in the discussion for greatest player

02:29of all time to be able to coach you up and focus on you.

02:33I mean, if you're Bronny, I got to think it's a no brainer for you, let alone the fact that

02:38you're going to make way more money going to the NBA than you will be by, by staying

02:43in college.

02:44I mean, you're probably going to be a better player in the long run.

02:49You know, as this thing developed, I mean, obviously no one's really expecting much from

02:53him in his rookie year or maybe even the next year or two, you know, giving him plenty of

02:59time to develop.

03:00I mean, honestly, the only people that are probably taking an L on a decision like that

03:07is going to be the team as a whole, the, the fan base for sure, for, you know, it ate up

03:12a draft pick.

03:13It could have taken a way better player that could have made an immediate impact and help

03:17them win games right now.

03:20And that's, that's kind of the losers right now.

03:22But if you're Bronny selfishly, I mean, for the James family selfishly, I mean, clearly

03:27it's a better move for them.

03:28Yeah.

03:29Mojo.

03:30I'll tell you what I was out at the hardware store over the weekend and, and I, it just,

03:34I overheard two of the employees debating about Bronny James.

03:37This is something that you can feel it in LA.

03:39The fans are, they're split on this.

03:42Bronny is a good player.

03:43Not ready.

03:44I think there's going to be a tremendous amount of interest in watching these games starting

03:48Tuesday night and seeing what kind of player Bronny James is ultimately when they put them

03:53on out on that basketball court.

03:55I guess we know where Mark Cuban stands.
