Danny Green not very optimistic about LeBron’s big dream

After 17 years filled with success in all kinds of the league, there are few goals left in his career for LeBron James. One of the main ones, however, appears out of reach for Danny Green.

Coming to the Lakers, LeBron James Above all, wanted to consolidate his place among the legends in NBA history. By winning a 4th title with a 3rd different franchise, as well as a 4th Finals MVP trophy, while putting the Lakers on par with the Celtics in the overall league record, he certainly pulled it off.

Knowing the specimen, this ultimate achievement will not satiate his everlasting thirst for victory. We can easily imagine that he would not spit on the conquest of 2 other rings, just to join the total of a certain Michael Jordan. But another goal, more sentimental in scope, should push him to pursue his career for several years.

At 35, the King could thus postpone his retirement for 4 years, so as to be able to attend as closely as possible … the debut in the NBA of his son, Bronny, potentially eligible for the 2023 Draft. But despite the immense will of its leader, Danny Green feared in the columns of Forbes that he won’t be able to stay in the league for as long as he hopes.

I think he would love it. I don’t know if his body will be able to hold out for another 3 years. I don’t think he wants to continue playing without being able to evolve at his current level. And I think it will be difficult in 3 years. At his pace, most people would be just a shadow of themselves 20 years after their debut. But I’m sure he would love to play with Bronny.

Despite the prowess he has displayed in recent weeks, when many observers anticipated his decline even before the start of the season, to see LeBron still reigning at 38 would be quite a feat. But if there is one player capable of pushing the limits of the human body, it is he.

If he does manage to maintain his skills by 2023, another problem could thwart his plans. The latest reports on the Draft class in question are indeed not favorable to Bronny. The latter will therefore have to show more in the Sierra Canyon jersey in the coming months to secure a place in the NBA.

Playing with or in front of his eldest son? LeBron James’ fantasy has the merit of being touching, but will be difficult to achieve according to Danny Green. To LBJ, once again, to give the lie to the prognosis on its longevity.
