To be a goat, the first rule is to believe you’re the goat! And LeBron James, the best player in the NBA (National Basketball Association), appears to be unconcerned about it. LeBron James spoke up on why he isn’t ready to retire from professional basketball in the season five premiere of The Shop.
What irritates LeBron James
The answer came from a segment of the 31-minute program in which LeBron expressed his dissatisfaction at not being able to play.
“The only thing that upsets me is when I can’t play due to an injury,” he explained. “When I’m not able to be out on the floor, that upsets me… I’m never sure if it was that game or that city where a youngster was coming to see me and I wasn’t even playing in that game.”
LeBron went on to explain that his coaches have advised him to “sit down” and “take off games,” but he has refused.
What Is It That Keeps LeBron James On The Court?
At this time, Paul Rivera approaches LeBron and asks him why he refuses to slow down.
“How come?” you might wonder. That’s something I’ve never asked you before. MVPs, titles, All-Stars, all the money, all the advertising, and a movie are all on the table. You’ve got it all. “Why do you still have that after 19 years?” Paul inquired.
LeBron’s follow-up was short and sweet: he enjoys the game and is still very good, even after 19 years.
“It’s all in my head, man.” I enjoy competing and winning. I enjoy playing the game as much as anyone else. I mean, I know at some point I won’t be able to play it at that level anymore. So, what the hell, I’m trying to squeeze every last drop of juice out of this motherf***ing orange. While I still have the opportunity. “Why not?” you could ask.
LeBron James scored 56 points in the Los Angeles Lakers’ 124-116 victory over the Golden State Warriors just one day after the new episode was released. As a result, his reiteration of “and I’m still excellent” carries its own weight.
“I’d have quit if I’d been out there on some bullsh*t like nasty-looking Bron.” But I’m still a lovely guy out there… I feel like every season is like a movie to me. Each season is like a film. And I’m almost living in it. As though I’m the main character in the film. It’s a fantastic sh*t vibe. “I’m having a Batman moment.”
Plans for Retirement
And it appears that fans will have a few more years with the superstar player. LeBron wants to play with his son Bronny, a high school basketball player.
“My final year will be spent with my son,” LeBron told The Athletic’s, Jason Lloyd. “I’ll be wherever Bronny is,” says the narrator. I’d do anything for a year to be able to play with my son. At that moment, it’s not about the money.”
