I, honestly, think he prefers the college game and doesn't want to leave UConn. Opportunity to 3peat also. It doesn't get any bigger for jobs than rejecting Kentucky and Lakers, respectively, for ncaa and NBA. UConn fans can sleep better tonight.
I'll take it tomorrow. No X's and O's. Just let the boys play.

The guy wants to play a season with his son and he gets shit for it. Whatever. There's no end. People don't like the guy. Fine. There comes a point where you start faulting people for merely breathing, then the problem lies with you. Mind you, these are typically people formulating these opinions who also freely admit "I don't watch the NBA" and miss the clotheslines and fist fights of the 70s, 80s and 90s.
Now that I think of it, Little Big League is the more appropriate analog. Kid takes over as manager for the Twins lol
I don't know about others, but I don't care if he plays with his son or not. The reason it's being discussed on sports radio is because he's pushing for a roster spot for a player that isn't good enough for the NBA (not my opinion). These folks talking about it are watching the NBA. I doubt they are pining for the "old days" as most likely never saw a game played back in the 70's or 80's. Mind you, most of it was the ABA, but the pro basketball I watched in the late 60's and 70's wasn't clothesline basketball. The 80's and 90's were extremely physical and less than exciting to watch at times.
He's not pushing for anything. He backed off of the scenario less than a month ago. LeBron stated that playing with Bronny might not be what Bronny wants and while it is a dream of theirs to play together, LeBron himself isn't prioritizing it anymore.

I think “sports hate” is one of the more enjoyable things about following sports. I personally get almost as much enjoyment watching a team I dislike lose than watching my team win. No doubt it makes me an asshole.
It's societal. Extends beyond sports. You're not alone.
Yeah, you’re right. Work with quite a few guys who don’t follow sports but lean right politically. They all hate Lebron. I hate him strictly for sports reasons. Seems like a good guy who loves his family and pays his taxes, who I will respect once he’s retired.
I agree. I tune into the NCAA hockey tourney every year to watch North Dakota crash out against some random school I have never heard of who plays in a glorified high school rink.
My dad hates LeBron with a burning passion for sports reasons (mostly i think). He does a very over the top impression of "The Decision."
He does a lot of good work people don't typically hear about. He created his foundation to support the I Promise elementary school in Akron. His "Decision" was bush league, but not the end of the world. My only real complaint with James is him keeping quiet when the NBA went to China. Given his profile, he had the opportunity to make a major statement on a global platform.
Clark is a great player who is great for the game. She's also a proxy for just about every media outlet at the moment trying to frame their narrative.
Likely the best for all parties involved.
Not sure why they are pursuing Coach K and Roy Williams. They won plenty in college and gave everything they had to the game. Dealing with the Lakers past 70 is probably the last thing either wants to deal with. Not even sure if Redick wants the job, as I read he didn't care for being 2nd choice. Just name Lebron the coach now until he retires. Problem solved.
Roy Williams and coach k were a while ago. I’m just saying in general
There’s a difference between hating a team and hating a player.
Great example.
How dare you!
Yep. Even if you think each team's two superstars on each team balance each other out, beyond that it's not close. Holiday and White are stone-cold killers. Porzingis when he's playing changes the whole game. Etc.
I also think Tatum and Brown are way better 2 way players. I was pretty shocked at how poor of a defender Luka is (he may be banged up) and I don’t think Kyrie is above average. They are the better shot creators and that looks good in a highlight clip.
