John Stockton on LeBron James' perceived GM role: 'It’d be maddening as a teammate to know that you can be expendable for one of his guys'
NBA fans have made fun of LeBron James for years for being too involved in personnel decisions with the franchises he is a part of. And now NBA legend John Stockton has given his two cents on the matter as well. “I don’t know what it’s like to sit in that front office and have things dictating to you like a plan, and it appears LeBron is,” Stockton said on the DNP-CD podcast. “I don’t know for sure that he is, but it’d be maddening as a teammate to know that you can be expendable for one of his guys that he thinks he needs to play with. The iffiness it causes with the team, the iffiness that it causes upstairs.”

We can argue about the order, but we can’t argue about any current guy displacing any of those six — at least not yet. Sorry. – 10:46 AM

Team USA has often been the place superteams are born.
Is Austin Reaves recruiting any of his star teammates to join the Lakers in the eventual post-LeBron era?
“I can’t speak on that. But I like some of the guys we’re playing with. So … yeah.”

Basketball season is fast approaching, and so is a new opportunity to virtually get in on the action: NBA 2K24 New Gen. 2K shared preliminary information about the game in July but has just announced new details about September 8th’s NBA 2K24, including adding a LeBron Era. This new mode follows LeBron James’ 2010 journey of leaving the Cleveland Cavaliers to play for the Miami Heat and leads into the already existing Modern Era. -via Engadget / August 22, 2023
