James discussed his retirement timeline, saying it won't be long! Wembanyama: LeBron will definitely play for at least two more years

Today, Wembanyama participated in an event in New York with James. This kid Wembanyama is really something; he just completed a 10-day retreat at the Shaolin Temple in China, shaved his head, and successfully passed the grading assessment for Shaolin Kung Fu, being awarded "Shaolin First Dan," making him the first NBA player to achieve a Shaolin martial arts rank. After his recent "return from retreat," he came to New York to meet LeBron.

At today's event, Wembanyama shared his thoughts on his all-time greatest five players: Point guard - Curry, Shooting guard - Jordan, Small forward - James, Power forward - Duncan, Center - O'Neal.

The host asked Wembanyama, "How many more years do you think LeBron can play?" Wembanyama replied, "He might even retire later than me. I believe he can definitely play longer than this; I bet he’ll play at least two more seasons." James simply smiled and didn't say anything. Also attending the event was football star Tom Brady, who remarked, "There’s still a lot more to come! He needs to make those records truly unbreakable!"

At the same time, Brady praised James as the greatest player of all time: "The pressure and intensity LeBron faces at the Olympics, the teams he has played for throughout his career, he always does things the right way. He can always block out the noise and nonsense from the outside and continues to deliver. You are witnessing the greatest player of all time, and I hope you all realize that."

The host asked James about his retirement timeline, to which James replied with a smile, "I really can't play for too long. The more I play, the more chances Victor (Wembanyama) has to swat my shots into the stands. Thinking about that makes me consider retirement."

Today, James updated his social media to promote the ultra-luxury watch brand Richard Mille he endorses, writing: "I had to showcase this special edition Richard Mille watch we've been collaborating on for the first time at Fanatics Fest, so you all can see it! This is the first of only 150 pieces! Thanks to the amazing team for giving me the opportunity to make this a reality, along with the incredible details, storytelling, and significance behind this watch."

James's custom Richard Mille watch features his own logo and signature, with only 150 pieces available worldwide. According to online information, the standard version of this watch sells for around $380,000.

$380,000, I know that's just breakfast money for everyone here, so come on, friends.

James updated his social media today, sharing a photo of dinner with friends. Why does Iron Bull look so unhappy standing in the back? Is it because he doesn't have a seat?

Let’s talk about news regarding other Lakers players.

The Athletic reported that Hayes might be seeking a $5.2 million contract in the player market. The Lakers want to achieve better results, and Hayes is also looking to find a team that appreciates him. It’s uncertain whether they should rule out the possibility of continuing their collaboration, considering the Lakers have Hayes's Bird rights and the limited salary cap space for backup centers like him in the market. Both sides might find that continuing their somewhat strained relationship is better than seeking other options.

Bailey Bassett proposed a trade scenario yesterday:

Lakers receive: 3J Jackson
Grizzlies receive: Reeves, Knecht, Kleber, 2031 first-round draft pick

Jackson averaged 22.2 points, 5.6 rebounds, 2 assists, 1.2 steals, and 1.5 blocks in 29.8 minutes per game during the regular season, with shooting percentages of 48.8%, 37.5%, and 78.1%.

In the playoffs, he averaged 16 points, 5 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 1 steal, and 0.5 blocks in 34.3 minutes per game, with shooting percentages of 37.9%, 27.3%, and 85%.

What do you think, is it worth it?
