NBA superstar LeBron James has clarified his comments about the face of the league, saying they were not aimed at a specific individual but rather at the “culture of basketball”. In a recent social media post, James expressed concerns about the impact of negativity on the game and its fans. This comes after James sympathized with Minnesota Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards’ decision to pass on being seen as the face of the NBA.
James has been serving as the league’s face for years, having excelled on and off the court. However, discussion about his successor has grown, particularly at 40 years old. Despite this, James is focused on the game itself, performing well in the 2024-25 season with averages of 24.9 points, 8.0 rebounds, and 8.7 assists per game. As he approaches his 22nd NBA season, James provided further insight into his outlook for the future of the league, emphasizing the importance of maintaining a positive atmosphere.
