On June 17, Beijing time, in the latest trailer clip of the "Court Brain" podcast program, Lakers star James answered a question from fans, and he admitted that he would never become a coach. Of course, the coach here is the coach of the NBA team. James has made guest appearances in coaching his son's team.
Nash relayed a fan question: "'LeBron, if you were a coach, which team would you coach?' 'Let me pause here for a moment, and I'm going to say, don't be a coach. ”
James responded, "Haha, guys, it's impossible, it's impossible. Alfonso Taylor (the fan who asked the question), thank you for your kind question, but that thing won't happen, no team (will be coached by me). ”
"There's zero chance," Nash said. James also reconfirmed: "The probability is zero. ”
James is currently a small owner of many teams in other leagues, involving baseball, ice hockey, football and other fields, but is not currently the owner of an NBA team. James has always made it his goal to own an NBA team, and has spoken about it several times before. Some investment bankers have said that if James retires tomorrow, he may be able to form a group with enough capital to buy NBA teams.
In addition to James, stars such as Curry and Paul have expressed similar intentions. As for being coaches, none of them have similar ideas. One understandable reason is that these stars sacrifice a lot of time with their families as they go through their careers, and they want to spend more time with their families after they retire. Being a team owner obviously has more personal time than being a coach.
According to Forbes, James' personal net worth has exceeded $1.2 billion, but the current valuation of NBA teams is also rising, and as previous bankers have said, James expects to need to form a group with enough capital to buy NBA teams.
