LeBron James has given a cryptic nod to his next destination at a Fanatics Fest in New York on Thursday, July 16.
King James already knew the reason countless heads turned at Thursday’s Fanatics Fest: to get answers: where would he land next?
But James didn’t answer the question outright, choosing instead to drop a cryptic hint in the middle of free agency.
Amid teasing remarks, jokes and a few cryptic clues, LeBron cleared the air about his next touchdown stop ahead of his 24th season.
The 41-year-old James, who appears on his podcast show, Mind the Gameco-hosted with Tyrese Haliburton, gets straight to the point.
“Is there still a decision to be made?” Haliburton asked in front of nearly 5,000 buzzing James fans at Fanatics Fest.
LeBron smiled and then quickly closed the subject, saying:
“We also talked about it backstage, Rese. We don’t talk about that today.”
During the live recording of the podcast Mind the Gamefans began calling out the teams they would love to see James join next.
When someone shouted, “Warriors!” LeBron laughed before answering:
“Hold up … what did I hear? Warriors … then Philly … Miami … and that guy even said I should play for the Yankees!”
While answering a question from an 11-year-old fan, LeBron opened up about his next big destination, revealing it’s more about family than basketball.
“It’s a huge decision. It’s the fourth time in my career that I’ve been 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, a four-time NBA champion whose next big move has become the biggest story of the NBA offseason, with everyone looking for hints to figure out where James would end up next for his 24th season.
