Transcript

00:00And LeBron was asked about his future and kind of what he's decided on that.

00:06Here was LeBron James.

00:08I don't know. I don't have the answer to that.

00:10Something I sit down with my family, my wife, and my support group

00:14and kind of just talk through it and see what happens.

00:17And then just have a conversation with myself on how long I want to continue to play.

00:23I don't know the answer to that right now, to be honest.

00:25This team had like that real, it seemed like that real genuine belief.

00:30Did that energize you in ways, challenge you mentally and physically

00:35in ways that you could see wanting to do more of this, having that opportunity?

00:40No.

00:42I walk into the practice facility and walk into this arena high energy all the time.

00:49And I just try to spill that to my teammates.

00:53I try to spill the belief into my teammates.

00:55I play as hard as I can, do whatever I can out on the floor while I have the opportunity to do it.

01:00But I think the only thing is it's up to me if I want to continue to play

01:04or how long I want to continue to play.

01:05It's ultimately up to me.

01:06So it has nothing to do about anybody else.

01:09How do you think the conversation goes between LeBron and himself?

01:13Like, damn, these scribes I got around me, they got to get their weight up or something.

01:17This is the part of the NBA season, which we call, please beg LeBron to play another year.

01:25That's what he wants.

01:26There's no doubt in your mind, though, that he's coming back.

01:30There's no doubt in my mind?

01:31Yeah.

01:32I mean, there's no doubt in his mind.

01:34Of course he's coming back.

01:35Yeah.

01:36Because he's still playing at an elite level.

01:38How do you walk away like that?

01:39It's very difficult to do.

01:41What did you say earlier?

01:42You still have him top 10?

01:44Yeah.

01:44If you said, give me your top 10 NBA players right now in the NBA,

01:48I guarantee you 90% of the people will put LeBron up there.

01:51I would go SGA.

01:52I'd go Tatum.

01:53I would go Giannis.

01:55I would go Luka.

01:58Yep.

01:59Joker.

02:01What?

02:01Jokic.

02:02Oh, I thought you were going to say Peyton Pritchard.

02:05Donovan Mitchell from Cleveland.

02:08Yeah.

02:08All right.

02:09So, who else?

02:10Embiid.

02:11I would put LeBron ahead of Embiid.

02:13I would.

02:14Embiid's out.

02:15What about Sean Kemp?

02:16Anthony Edwards.

02:17So, that's like, what?

02:18Six guys?

02:19Seven guys?

02:20Yeah.
