LeBron James Would Rather Retire Than Play For Orlando
Being isolated from the rest of the world, and more importantly from your family and friends was a burden NBA players were willing to take in order to finish last year’s season in a safe way in the Orlando Bubble.
This obviously took a heavy toll on most of the players. LeBron James for example revealed that he thought about leaving the NBA Bubble numerous nights and days.
Even though the Lakers ended up winning the title at Disney, LeBron still isn’t a fan of Orlando because of the Bubble.
In a recent episode of ‘The Shop’ James jokingly claimed that he would rather retire than play in Orlando:
LeBron: “Anytime I hear Orlando right now I get PTSD.”
Mav: “Orlando has no chance of free agency?”
LeBron: “They have no chance.”
Mav: “What if you get traded to Orlando.”
LeBron: “I’m not going. I’ll just retire.”
Sorry, Orlando… it’s nothing personal #TheShopHBO pic.twitter.com/b2FYpI12kP
