“LeBron declined to hop on the ESPN broadcast to talk about his situation with the Lakers: ‘I ain’t got nothing to talk about.’” LeBron James was courtside watching his son, Bronny James, suit up for the Lakers for the Summer League game. Just like any other visit from King James, this too grabbed eyeballs as he refused to comment on his situation with the Purple and Gold franchise. Now, we know more details about his stance, which comes from a close source, his agent, Rich Paul.
“There’s so many voices in today’s game and around today’s game and media and things like that, and everyone has a job to do. For us, ‘Hey, let those people do their job. It’s not for us to rebuttal or to try to give clarity on what’s said, what’s not said.’” The super agent spoke to Frank Isola on SiriusXM NBA Radio and revealed what the main focus for LeBron James is. “That’s not the focus. Focus is, ‘Hey man, enjoy your summer.’ Obviously, I wear a lot of different hats, so I have a lot of things on my plate that I’m doing.”
Further adding, “You can’t dispel everything someone has to say, and you’ve been around this thing a long time. There’s never been an expectation on anyone like it’s been on him, but my thing is just continue to find your joy.” As Paul said, the focus for the Lakers’ superstar is not the exit rumors. But spending quality time with family in the off-season and finding that joy to get back on court next season.
“The focus is, hey man, enjoy your summer.”
