At this point, LeBron James can do no wrong. He has silenced many of his critics by doing what they said he couldn’t. So what does he have up his sleeve for an encore? A run at president of the National Basketball Player’s Association, of course.
According to ESPN, that’s exactly what LeBron is mulling over. Typically, star players don’t care to hold this distinction. Also, that’s usually reserved for guys towards the end of their career.
So why is LeBron doing this? I guess the simple answer is why not?
LeBron James is seriously considering running for president of the National Basketball players’ association, multiple sources told ESPN.
James is giving a run “some very heavy thought,” according to sources.
The biggest consideration for James will be the time commitment being the union president would require. James has limited time to give because of sponsorship and charity commitments in addition to playing. Deep playoff runs with the Miami Heat for the last three years have also been taxing.
