It’s gonna be weird without him. It doesn’t feel like there is a definitive new face of the league. After Magic-Bird, Jordan took over, and the short period between Jordan and LeBron was filled by Kobe and Timmy. There have been multiple players that could’ve been the face of the league over the past decade, but it always remained LeBron. Curious as to who will step up to that status of ‘THE nba player’ everyone knows.

cudderwalks | Hornets

It’ll be weird without him, I’m 26 and I’ve been watching him my entire life I don’t know what a LeBron-less NBA is like.

The nba should be promoting team compositions and matchups, not individual stars, like the NFL.

I’ve said this before, but it was ridiculous when the wolves and suns played in round 1 2 seasons ago, the matchup was promoted as edwards vs durant. It should have been the crushing size of the wolves vs the ball movement of the suns, which had given them trouble all season, despite the seeding and records.

Milking the trading cards for speculators before he announces patches for his 24th season.

He’s not saying he’s retiring because he’s not retiring. By not saying it, dumb speculators will buy the cards. It’s like his Hennessy decision and the dumbasses that drove up the ticket prices for the last game of the season.

Nickk_Jones | Lakers

At some level of career earnings the desire to keep accumulating wealth becomes irrational. The only caveat would be if you planned on using your vast wealth for charity or to advance social causes. In that case I guess keep earning as much as you can? I still think it’d probably be better to just tax the hell out of these people so we can all have free healthcare rather than hoping for handouts from the “good” rich. Set up a 90% tax rate on these people and I’ve got no problem with their salaries.

AllMyHomiesHateEY

Growing up, collecting basketball cards was such a great hobby. I remember going through the target checkout line with the cards and seeing if they had new packs or sets in. There were always some cheaper packs available. I remember when Topps Chrome blew up they were a “premium” pack for like ⁴⁄₅ dollars instead of ¹⁄₂. They were beautiful though!

Then I stopped for a few years, checked in with it after college/working a bit. Went from like 10 different companies in the segment to maybe 2. All the cards now are centered around these ultra-rare drops. So fucking expensive too.

I wish we’d go back to more brands, cheaper cards, and focus on great art design for the regular cards. Instead it’s just a gacha game going for your 1:250,000 chance at a .5cm x .5cm square of a jersey patch. Won’t happen though :(

I don’t really care about Las Vegas personally, like most people, I just mention it because it has been a rumor for a while. I wouldn’t mind more teams though, if just to make the playoff brackets a bit more competitive instead of having about 7-8 teams guaranteed to get some kind of spot, 3-4 teams overwork their star players to secure the bottom of the bracket, while the bottom teams scrape by and tank for the endless sisyphean rebuild. And if the new teams are in the west like Las Vegas, then maybe we could finally move some teams to the East that have all their geographical rivals over there.

Wouldn’t fix the problem, but it’d be a move in the right direction with the aprons encouraging parity.

Sets an interesting precedent for players to take more control of their own jerseys with patches and advertisements moving forward, considering this is (in essence) just a way to convince people to gamble on more packs of Topps.

DalliLlama | Heat

Idt it really does. Im not even sure this is a LeBron thing. LeBron is signed with upper deck, him and Jordan keep that brand afloat from a basketball perspective. I’m sure he’s getting something out of it, but doubt he approached with the idea. This seems more like a Topps thing to increase the draw for their sets as they recently got rights again for pro teams and help offset some of the costs of that.

It’s going to be a draw for award winners and once in a lifetime achievements. It’s gunna be akin to panini figuring out they can make bank with the championship tags on the back of jerseys.

LeBron has legitimately put up All NBA production every single year he’s been in LA. He’s also been the team’s best leader since Kobe and has been the best player on the team given AD’s uneven performances. Last year he was a completely reasonable All NBA 2nd Team and 6th in MVP voting, with averages of 25/8/8 on 51% shooting.

Even this year when having a slow start recovering from injury he is averaging 22/6/7 on 51% shooting. Giving LeBron another year at his max is not going to ruin the Lakers’ playoff chances. Now, what’s going to save the Kings?

LeBron James will wear a special-edition 23rd season jersey patch beginning tonight in Sacramento; the city where he began his legendary career in 2003. The patches will be removed from his jersey after each game, and some will be placed into ultra-rare trading cards.
