00:00And LeBron was asked about his future and kind of what he's decided on that.
00:06Here was LeBron James.
00:08I don't know. I don't have the answer to that.
00:10Something I sit down with my family, my wife, and my support group
00:14and kind of just talk through it and see what happens.
00:17And then just have a conversation with myself on how long I want to continue to play.
00:23I don't know the answer to that right now, to be honest.
00:25This team had like that real, it seemed like that real genuine belief.
00:30Did that energize you in ways, challenge you mentally and physically
00:35in ways that you could see wanting to do more of this, having that opportunity?
00:40No.
00:42I walk into the practice facility and walk into this arena high energy all the time.
00:49And I just try to spill that to my teammates.
00:53I try to spill the belief into my teammates.
00:55I play as hard as I can, do whatever I can out on the floor while I have the opportunity to do it.
01:00But I think the only thing is it's up to me if I want to continue to play
01:04or how long I want to continue to play.
01:05It's ultimately up to me.
01:06So it has nothing to do about anybody else.
01:09How do you think the conversation goes between LeBron and himself?
01:13Like, damn, these scribes I got around me, they got to get their weight up or something.
01:17This is the part of the NBA season, which we call, please beg LeBron to play another year.
01:25That's what he wants.
01:26There's no doubt in your mind, though, that he's coming back.
01:30There's no doubt in my mind?
01:31Yeah.
01:32I mean, there's no doubt in his mind.
01:34Of course he's coming back.
01:35Yeah.
01:36Because he's still playing at an elite level.
01:38How do you walk away like that?
01:39It's very difficult to do.
01:41What did you say earlier?
01:42You still have him top 10?
01:44Yeah.
01:44If you said, give me your top 10 NBA players right now in the NBA,
01:48I guarantee you 90% of the people will put LeBron up there.
01:51I would go SGA.
01:52I'd go Tatum.
01:53I would go Giannis.
01:55I would go Luka.
01:58Yep.
01:59Joker.
02:01What?
02:01Jokic.
02:02Oh, I thought you were going to say Peyton Pritchard.
02:05Donovan Mitchell from Cleveland.
02:08Yeah.
02:08All right.
02:08All right.
02:09So, who else?
02:10Embiid.
02:11I would put LeBron ahead of Embiid.
02:13I would.
02:14Embiid's out.
02:15What about Sean Kemp?
02:16Anthony Edwards.
02:17So, that's like, what?
02:18Six guys?
02:19Seven guys?
02:20Yeah.
