The NBA shook again with a superb performance by LeBron James, but what perplexed the fans and the press the most were some statements by the Akron star where he left open the possibility of remaining in the Los Angeles Lakers until you decide to retire. Due to this, the possibility of seeing the American star play with his son, Bronny James in the gold and purple uniform has grown.

“This is a franchise I see myself with. I’m here and I see myself in purple and gold as long as I can play,” LeBron James told reporters.
“The King of Akron” will have the option to decide whether or not to accept a contract extension of a couple of seasons in exchange for 97 million dollars and thanks to his words, the management of the Lakers could be a little calm about the permanence of their top star.
Beyond leaving some hope about his stay in California, LeBron James also made it clear that his desire to play alongside to his son does not mean that he does not want to be with the Los Angeles Lakers anymore when Bronny James is chosen in the draft.
“I also have the goal that, if possible, not even I know if it is possible, if I can play with my son, I would love to do it. That’s the best thing that could happen. That doesn’t mean I don’t want to be with this franchise,” added the NBA star.
Although the most successful team has not sounded like one of the favorite candidates to take over the services of the eldest son of the forward of 37 years. However, there are still two years left to see Bronny in the draft and everything may indicate that the Lakers can position themselves in the fight for the oldest of the Jameses.
“My last year I will play with my child. Wherever Bronny is, there I will be. I would do whatever it takes to play with my son for a year. The money won’t matter at that time, “concluded LeBron James.
