‘This motherfucker was cold as hell… dunk’: Patrick Beverley dissects LeBron James’ commitment to Lakers

LeBron James has played in the NBA for 20 seasons. Not only has he been around for so long, but he’s dominated the game. He won championships, MVPs, and even broke several long-standing records. Now entering his 21st season, players and fans are speculating that this could be the last year they witness LeBron James magic.

But his former teammates had a slightly different take on the matter. Patrick Beverley talked about this on his “Pat Bever Podcast” and gave his insight on the matter.

Patrick Beverley weighs in on James’ commitment to Lakers

Over the past 20 seasons, James’ achievements have continued to increase. A six-time All-Defensive team selection, a 19-time All-NBA team selection and a multiple-time All-Rookie selection, LeBron continues to amaze audiences with his talent and defensive prowess. His three NBA All-Star MVP titles and four NBA Finals MVP trophies are a testament to his unparalleled ability to thrive on the biggest stages. And even at 38 years old, LeBron can compete with the young people in the league.

Fans and analysts have speculated that LeBron James is retiring just because of his age. Even on the Pat Beverley Podcast, Patrick Beverley was asked if he thought this was LeBron James’ last season.

He said, “I don’t think you can say that. I mean, you never know with Bron. You have to think, when we didn’t dunk around this asshole Brown, this asshole Brown was iced. He’s different, so you can’t even put ‘like’ in when he wants to stop.”

Even during the ESPYs, the entire basketball world thought James was going to announce his retirement. But the Los Angeles Lakers forward apparently isn’t ready to hang up his sneakers just yet.James asked a key question: “Can I play this game without cheating?” and replied: “The day I can’t give everything to the game, I’m done. You guys are lucky that day is not today.”

LeBron James wants to play basketball with his 11-year-old son

All fans and analysts are speculating that James will not retire before playing with his son, Bronny James. As James has said many times, it is his dream to share the NBA court with his son. This sincere desire prompted LeBron to re-sign with the Lakers in order to be consistent with Bronny’s eligibility for the 2024 NBA Draft.

While LeBron James has had great success in the NBA, he recognizes that his children will forge their own paths. His desire to play with Bronny is deeply personal, but it’s not a sure thing. With Bronny recovering from a major health risk, his availability to play again became a big question a few days ago. But after recovering, he is now ready to return. Therefore, fans may be right about James not retiring because he wants to share the court with his son.

Do you think they will play together or against each other? Let us know in the comments below.
