LeBron James Admits He Envisioned Finishing Career with Knicks
The Lakers star revealed his past desire to play for New York's team, a team he felt he could have resurrected during its lean years.
LeBron James has revealed that he once envisioned finishing his NBA career with the New York Knicks, a team he felt he could have helped revitalize. During a period the article refers to as "14 to 4 B.B. (Before Brunson)," the Knicks experienced what are described as lean and depressing years.
During that era, James was perceived as a potential solution for the Knicks' struggles. The article suggests that James was seen as the answer to needs such as selling the fanbase hope, hiring a coach, or even firing an executive. However, despite his aspirations, James was unable to join the Knicks and instead saw the team achieve success after the arrival of Jalen Brunson. The Knicks have now, in a sense, "flipped the script" on James, achieving a level of success he had hoped to bring to New York.
