James just set a new career-high in rebounds (20) and wants to play with Bronny
LeBron James, Lakers superstarLAPRESSE
John Salley, a four-time NBA champion who won his final ring with the Los Angeles Lakers, believes that LeBron James is only hurting the league by playing for more than 20 years while still being a superstar.
Salley, 59, recently delivered an interview on VladTV and claimed that advertisers suffer when one of the league’s best talents is old. He believes players should only play about 10 years.
“It’s not good for the league to have old players still hanging around,” said Salley. “Takes away from the advertisement. You know, you’re trying to sell Ja Morant sneakers, you’re not trying to sell LeBrons.”
John Salley on Tiger Woods
Salley went on to compare Tiger Woods‘ longevity to that of James, who just set a new career-high in rebounds and wants to play alongside or against his son Bronny, who is a year away from joining the NBA.
“Nike had to get rid of Nike Golf…” Salley said. “They had to get back to their core so they had to drop things that weren’t making them, they couldn’t, Tiger Woods was great for them but which one of the new up-and-coming kids are going to say ‘I want some Tiger Woods.’ No, they’re gonna go with who the new guy is. In business, especially in sports, you get in you get out. If you last ten years you are blessed.”
