LeBron James gave a cryptic nod to his next destination at Fanatics Fest in New York on Thursday, July 16.
King James already knew the reason countless heads turned at Thursday’s Fanatics Fest: for answers: where would he land next?
But James didn’t answer the question directly and instead opted to drop a cryptic hint in the middle of free agency.
Amidst mocking comments, jokes and some cryptic clues, LeBron cleared the air regarding his next stop before his 24th season.
James, 41, who appears on his podcast show, Be careful with the gameco-hosted with Tyrese Haliburton, gets straight to the point.
“Is there still a decision to make?” Haliburton asked in front of nearly 5,000 James fans at Fanatics Fest.
LeBron, smiling, then quickly closed the topic and said:
“We talked about that backstage too, Rese. We’re not going to talk about that today.”
During the live recording of the podcast Be careful with the gamefans began shouting out the teams they would love to see James join next.
When someone shouted: “Warriors!” LeBron laughed before answering:
“Wait…what did I hear? Warriors…then Philadelphia…Miami…and that guy even told me to go play for the Yankees!”
While answering a question from an 11-year-old fan, LeBron talked about his next big destination and revealed that it has more to do with family than basketball.
“It’s a huge decision. This is the fourth time in my career that I’m a free agent and I have to think not only about myself but also about my family and where I want to spend the last years of my career.”
King James, four-time NBA champion, whose next big move has become the biggest story of the NBA offseason and everyone is looking for clues to find out where James would stop next in his 24th season.
