Before Trae Young joined the NBA, a reporter asked LeBron James what he thought about Young’s decision to make it as a pro. The epitome of professional basketball in the country is the NBA. LeBron James who was already impressed with Trae Young and saw his potential said he felt it was obvious he’ll make it as a pro. Ahead of a game against the Thunder, LeBron James spoke to the media during practice. A reporter asked him what he felt about Trae Young’s decision to pursue professional basketball straight out of high school.

LeBron poked some fun and said, “What decision? That ain’t no decision. It’s like saying am I gonna wake up this morning…brushing my teeth? He better go pro.”

This upcoming All-star weekend is a combination of veteran and new talent of the NBA. From LeBron James to Andrew Wiggins, the range of talent that fans will witness at the same time on the floor will be exceptional. LeBron James is leading the All-Star team in votes for a record-equaling ninth time this season. He will face against Kevin Durant’s East who’s coming back looking for redemption. Either of them will select Young in the draft, so we may see the duo in the same team this season.

LeBron is currently resting and not playing against the former Eastern Conference finalists, Hawks. Fans were looking forward to his presence on the floor against Trae Young. Young earned his second start this season in an All-Star game. It’s pertinent to recall that only a few years ago, LeBron was joking around about if Trae Young would join the league.
