With LeBron James being 35-years-old, it’s hard to imagine him trying to play anywhere else than Los Angeles over the next few years. He seems to have made the city his home on and off the court as he’s playing basketball and producing a film which will likely lead to even more things as his career shifts into a second act.
However, he could feel the draw to play in another big city before he hangs up his shoes for good.
According to Marc Berman of the New York Post, he truly believes LeBron will take his talents to the New York Knicks.
“I will never rule this one out — especially for his last season before retiring.
James has said the Garden is his favorite arena to play in. A lot depends not just on how his Lakers’ title journey pans out, but his son Bronny’s timetable.”
The Knicks always come up as a team who will land a big player, and then they end up striking up each and every time. However, James has said he wants to remain in the league until his son Bronny gets to the NBA.
Berman touched on the topic of James playing with his son:
“James, whose Lakers’ contract expires in 2022, would be 39 by then. He’s made no secret of wanting to play with his son. That would be a first in NBA history. James is very conscious of his legacy. Finishing it out in New York could add to his place in history.
When James was at the Garden on Jan. 23, he was asked if he would want to play for the Knicks if they drafted Bronny. James was amused.
‘My son is in ninth grade, man,’’ James said. ‘We’re trying to worry about what project he’s got to turn in tomorrow, that’s what [we’re] worried about right now. That’s what’s most important: school, home and being the best big brother he can be.’”
