When questioned if the NBA would need to join the bandwagon and cut jobs, as prevalent in the US market currently, Khan said he wouldn’t take out a healthy LeBron James, based on the latter’s age.
“So if you’re the NBA with a very strong product, healthy LeBron James as of a couple of nights ago, you obviously want him to go for a few more years. That matters to me, I’d wait,” Dwayne Johnson’s childhood friend said, pointing out James’ GOAT status.
Meanwhile, 38-year-old James overtook Kareem Abdul-Jabbar earlier this year, to climb the NBA scoring charts. He has shown no signs of stopping thus far.
