    In one Australian sport (the AFL) we have a rule called 'the Father-Son rule'. I'd love an NBA father son rule so we can draft Bronny! :) lol

    ...thing is, while naturally there are concerns of how much longer he can play, if he’s healthy I can see him playing awhile longer.

    Even if his skills decline, without injury LeBron can be a valuable 2nd or 3rd guy on a team for as long as he wants. The torch can easily be given completely to AD.

    Father time of undefeated and will come a knocking at some point. But Bron knows his body and what it takes to get the job done at an elite level better than any other current NBA player. I think the goal is 3-4 more years, he's going to try to be in the league when Bronny gets in and that will partly depend on the HS/1 and done rule by then.

    Lebron straight up got it done. Brought us a championship and our next franchise player in AD all in year two. Phenomenal. Now we need that back to back!

    He deserved that Finals MVP he got, too.

    Never in a million years did I think the next chip would be Lebron steering it. Unreal.

    We can definitely build a stronger team next year around LeBron and AD by just upgrading Dudz and Cook. Maybe we swing a deal for Green's expiring and ? to bring in another stronger piece too. Not to mention the vets with game left that will be looking our way too maybe for less than their market value, for a chance to be a part of this.

    I think I heard one of the guys in the booth say he's up to the equivalent of 4 or 5 extra seasons from having played in all the post season games.

    He's played 260 playoff games. He just passed Derek Fisher. The equivalent of 3 NBA seasons. If you add up his years played with the playoffs based off 82 games, he has played 18.6 years. Pretty amazing.
