You're listening to the best of the odd couple.

LeBron James speaking at the fanatics convention there and had some things to say, Rob G. It's my almost 12-year-old daughter who was pulling away a lot. You know, so, you know, going to my daughter, I was home for the 4th of July, and my daughter came home. After being out with her friends and cousins and everything and I board it to the side because she's

at as an age now so like anytime I leave for her like dad where you go like I'm going with you

yeah like I'll board to the side and I was like babe I'm letting you know I don't want you to hear

from nobody else but I won't be playing for the Lakers next year I will be playing somewhere else so I won't want you to hear from nobody else, but I won't be playing for the Lakers next year.

I will be playing somewhere else, so I won't be home all the time.

And you may not have an answer right now.

You can give me an answer now.

You can wait and write it down.

You just want to know how you felt about it because you mean a lot to me.

You know, being away from you means to me. You know, you would be being away from you to be a lot. You know, so the family portion is a big thing too. You know, my daughter and wife, things of that nature. Yeah, I mean, as you can imagine, and this is why I think, I know Kerry, I know a lot of people feel like he already has his decision made. And I can understand that. And I'm not going to be naive to the fact that he 100% does it. But I do think this is what makes it difficult because, listen, at the end of the day, he's a made man, right? Like, he has the championships. And he's in the number one player, greatest of all time for some he's the number two for some he's the number three for some for the most

people that's right now. and he's in the number one player greatest of all time for some.

He's the number two for some. He's the number three for some. For the most people, that's right around where it is. For the most part, give him saying, meaning? I don't think he's going up or down your scale at this point. Like, LeBron is where he is for whoever you are. He's either the goat, second, third, or if you just have him out your top five, nothing he's going to do next season

going to put you in his top five.

The reason I say that is,

so I do think he wants to win. I think he's competitive. I don't think he's looking somewhere to go and be terrible. But I kept saying when we had these conversations, myself from Rob Parker, that how much, and I kept saying Rob G is my, as kind of my witness here. I would always specify his daughter first.

Rob G., you can vouch for that.
