LeBron James, the 40 year old
NBA icon, might have lost in the playoffs this season, but he continues to be one of the most popular athletes in the world. While there are a lot of rumours about LeBron James’ retirement, the NBA legend has not confirmed any such speculations. But now, there are reports of LeBron James’ post retirement phase, and it involves Amazon Prime Video’s NBA coverage, but it has sparked outrage among fans.
LeBron James might join Amazon Prime Video’s NBA coverage, but fans are disappointed by this
Recently, as per Front Office Sports, sources have revealed that there are chances of “King James eventually joining Prime Video’s upcoming coverage of the NBA”, days after there were reports of him joining ESPN.
While neither Amazon Prime Video nor LeBron James have confirmed these speculations, it has certainly raised eyebrows among fans.
A fan took to X and wrote, “Nobody wants to keep listening to that dumbf**k speak”, while another fan commented, “Fastest way to turn fans off, hiring this buffoon.”
A third fan posted, “We do not wanna hear him in the booth”, while another user wrote, “As a LeBron fan, this has a chance to hurt your legacy and has 0 upside potential. Just go crazy with Savannah in your Cleveland mansion no need for this.”
A fifth fan noted, “Oh god, please no. Please. Just go away after you retire. PLEASE.”
At this point, LeBron James has one year left of his contract with his team, the Los Angeles Lakers. At the age of 40, the NBA icon is one of the oldest players to actively play in games currently.
LeBron James’ controversial relationship with Stephen A. Smith has gotten more complicated
While LeBron James deals with the speculations around his future, Stephen A. Smith has continued to speak about the NBA icon, months after their controversial confrontation.
Recently, Stephen A. Smith said, “He hid behind his son, tried to make something out of nothing, as if I was dogging his son, which I was not. The real issue was we don't like each other. And he used that as an excuse to confront me.”
LeBron James has yet to react to Stephen A. Smith’s controversial statements about their tense relationship.
