LeBron James is arguably the most durable player of all time. The man is in his 19th year and he is still putting up MVP numbers across the board. He has not had any major injury throughout his career and he takes care of his body in the best possible way.
That kind of dedication and commitment has allowed LeBron to be in the league for so long. Although few players have been able to match LeBron’s longevity in the game, there has not been an instance when a player, in his 19th year, is one of the best in the league.

In addition, LeBron is not close to being done. He looks like he can play for another 5 years, but he has stated his wish multiple times where he wants to play his final years in the league.

Bronny James is LeBron’s eldest son and there is a real possibility that Bronny makes it to the NBA one day. LeBron has stated multiple times that he wants to play with his son in the NBA and that is his dream.
In an interview with The Athletic, LeBron addressed several topics, but probably the most important one was about Bronny. He said, “Wherever Bronny is at, that’s where I’ll be. I would do whatever it takes to play with my son for one year. It’s not about the money at that point.” Bron also didn’t rule out the possibility that he might return to Cleveland one day.
LeBron James’ message to all 30 teams is clear: If you want me, draft Bronny.

Lakers fans are stunned after LeBron James makes his intentions clear
The Los Angeles Lakers fans were furious with LeBron’s statement. The Lakers have traded away their young talent and future picks in order to get LeBron and Anthony Davis. And with LeBron saying he will go to Bronny’s team which means that he could leave the Lakers, made the fans angry. Here are some of the best reactions:
I'm a Laker fan and like Lebron but his comments show no loyalty to the franchise. Magic and Kobe would never.. If anything holler at Jeanie Buss directly

So bron's saying that it's only been about the money… up to this point. Explains a lot, actually.

A true laker would demand they draft his son if it's a possibility (no clue how NBA drafts work) not"I'll go to any team."The man played for cavs left came back 4 years later,said he'd never leave and he left. Now he says he took kobes place on the throne. Hes never gon leave.🤣

@JeanieBuss take back control of your team. The message is clear Lerun is leaving you high in dry in 2 years. Trade him in the off-season & get a "real king" in terms of "kings ransom" in assets. The writing literally on the wall & you will be sole blame if you don't stop it!!

And this is why LA made a bad choice when they traded all their talent and picks for letting LeBron play GM. He just said when he resigned with LA I want to retire a Laker. He ain't welcomed in Cleveland no more.

Big news for NBA teams
This is just huge news for all NBA teams, as LeBron basically just told where he is gonna go next. LeBron James doesn’t seem like he’s gonna slow down any time soon and any team will want to have The King on their side. Even if LeBron is not at the same level, the level of attraction that the King garners can be huge for the team. And if Bronny turns out to be a valuable player, then it would be a double bonus for that team.
