With two of the most important players of the last decade about to share the court for the All-Star Game, it’s hard not to wonder what if they had actually become teammates after the Warriors reached out to LA about acquiring LeBron at the trade deadline

James also told “Inside” that his eldest son, Bronny James, has not determined yet whether he will enter the NBA draft at the conclusion of his freshman season with USC. “It’s up to him, it’s up to the kid,” James said. “We’re going to go through the whole process. He’s still in season now. He has the Pac-12 tournament coming up. … We’re going to weigh all options and we’re going to let the kid make the decision.” -via ESPN / February 18, 2024
