Miami Heat legend Udonis Haslem believes, 'You got a better chance wrestling an alligator than getting LeBron out of L.A.'
Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James has a player option this offseason, splitting the media on his eventual decision.
Among those under the impression that James will remain in Los Angeles is Miami Heat legend Udonis Haslem. The two spent four seasons together on the Heat, making four consecutive NBA Finals and winning two championships. "You got a better chance wrestling an alligator than getting Bron out of L.A.," Haslem said on ESPN's Get Up. "He ain't going nowhere. He'll be in the south of France sipping wine while we have these discussions. We write about it and talk about it all the while he's going back to LA. This is a business decision."
"You got a better chance wrestling an alligator than getting Bron out of L.A. ... He ain't going nowhere."James is one of the most accomplished players in league history, meaning family, business ventures, and more play a part in whether he opts in or out. Haslem has ventured into the media world since retiring in 2023, so he understands where James is coming from.
"He has the opportunity to opt out, get more money, that new TV deal is coming in, and extend his career a little longer," Haslem said. "Does he want to play with Bronny? We don't know how that goes. He ain't going nowhere, stop saying Philly. You talk business and basketball. What better place to do it than LA, except for Miami?"Anthony Pasciolla is a sports writer who has contributed to FanNation's Inside the Heat since June 2023.
