When LeBron James was asked in Atlanta what he was going to tell his teammates ahead of critical matchups against the Celtics and Knicks, he had a simple response.
“Just go out and do your job,” James said.

LeBron James does not have a no-trade clause in his contract. But he does have a 15% kicker. Which means his contract would increase 15% if the Lakers traded him. – 12:49 PM

More on this storyline
Even if he doesn’t retire after the season, another MSG game isn’t guaranteed. So every appearance is cherished. “At this point in my career, for sure,” he said. “I’ll probably get an opportunity to be in the lineup and play here, especially at the latter stage of my career, I definitely don’t take it for granted. “For me to be able to grace that floor throughout my career has always been a treat.” -via New York Post / February 3, 2024
LeBron James, who flirted with joining the Knicks in 2010 — “I’ve had that thought in my career,” he said Saturday — hasn’t faced this good of home team at MSG in more than a decade. -via New York Post / February 3, 2024
