News link >>>>> a western executive: James will not retire. He just changes the topic. People don’t discuss sweeping now.
Eric Pincus, a B/R reporter, interviewed several alliance members about James’s statement that he might choose to retire.
A Western executive talked about this and said, “James will appear next season. He just changed the topic. Now we are not talking about sweeping, but about James and retirement. He likes to control public opinion.”
Another executive said, “wait another week and let’s see if he is saying the same thing.”
As reported in the above news, a western executive thinks James is a person who likes to control public opinion. James discussed the topic of his retirement in the interview, thus shifting the embarrassing topic that the Lakers were swept by the Nuggets 0-4. American fans also had a heated discussion on this point of view.

Haynes: the source told James that he was not sure whether to return and consider retirement.

I watched that entire presser and this is one of the most egregious media fabrications I ‘ve seen.
He talked a lot about the roster and a bunch of other things and happened to say I ‘ve got a lot to think about. No fucking way that means retirement. He’s only thinking about where to maximize his championship potential, whether with the Lakers or elsewhere.
Warrior fans: I watched Lao Zhan’s post-match interview from beginning to end. I think this time may be the most stinking media rumor event I have ever seen! In the interview that day, Lao Zhan said a lot about the lineup and other things, and then happened to say, “I need to consider a lot of things”. Can this TM be understood as retirement? Lao Zhan just wants to consider where to get the biggest chance to win the Championship, whether to stay with the Lakers or leave for other teams…

He literally didn’t say anything about retiring wtf
Knight fans: yes; Lao Zhan didn’t say to retire at all ~ what a mess!

it gets even weirder when you realize that the media is just CHOOSING to talk about the retirement instead
Fans: is it more strange for the media to write articles about “retirement?
[-]Tampa Bay RaptorsRaptors2017champs 866 points 8 hours ago
Its not weird at all. This is what they do. They never gives small market teams their flowers, and when they do they announce if like theyre doing everyone a favor instead of their job
Raptors fans: in fact, this is not surprising. The media eat by traffic. They never like small market teams. If they write news to small market teams, it seems that they are merciful, never thought it was just their job!

We all know it meant he needs to think about who to trade.
Lakers fans: in fact, we all know that many things Lao Zhan said to “consider” are actually: who should be traded ~
[-]Cavaliersdeformo 147 points 5 hours ago
“I’m trading AD and myself to Portland. What? No no. Dame is staying. Lakers get 7 firsts and weird strains of weed .”
Knight fans:
Lao Zhan: “I want to trade thick eyebrows with myself to the pioneers! What? No, no, no, no, no… Don’t change Lillard to the Lakers. Lillard has to stay at the Trail Blazers! Lakers… The Lakers will take 7 first-round signatures and send them a few packs of miscellaneous cigarettes ~ ~”

LeBron spent half the interview giving nothing but praise to Jokic and the Nuggets. It’s not his fault sports media sucks ass and decided to only talk about him
Knight fans: it takes half of the time for the whole post-match interview. Lao Zhan didn’t say anything except constantly praising joki and the Nuggets! The sports media really took the wrong medicine. The news was to catch Lao Zhan to write!
[-]dpark128 -4 points 5 hours ago
agreed but he wanted to make the point at the very end that he needed to think about a lot of stuff. I don’t blame him. He played all but 4 secs in that game and had no one to help him close that game.
Fans: Totally agree! Lao Zhan didn’t say that he needed to consider a lot of things until the end of the interview ~ I don’t blame him at all when he said this. He played a whole game and rested for 4 seconds, but no one can stand up and help him!

Is he supposed to lie about it when they ask him what his plans are? He pretty much said “I don’t know” which is the best answer to give when you aren’t sure
Lakers fans: when the media asked about his plans, did Lao Zhan still have to lie? He said “I don’t know” clearly. When you are not sure, this is the best answer ~

It is crazy for a 38 years man to consider retirement after playing 48 minutes while injured?
Rocket fans: Let’s not talk about anything else! People are reasonable. A 38-year-old middle-aged man played for 48 minutes and was injured. After that, he wanted to consider retirement ~~ what’s the crime? Is it confusing?

“Hey let’s shit on him”
Fans:
News: an old general who has been fighting for 20 years ended the journey of the current season after a fiasco. After that, he talked with the media about the topic of retirement.
Fans commented: “Shit, is this still OK? Spray him to death!”

He’s been constantly talking about his son for years and there’s no chance he wouldn’t want a year long retirement tour
Fan: Lao Zhan has been talking about his son in recent years (hoping to play basketball with his son in NBA), and you said he didn’t want to have a year-long retirement tour? Never!
News link: Wen chubby talks about James considering retirement: his heart to play with Brownie will defeat everything

He also recently backtracked on the idea of playing with his son , emphasizing that while it was HIS dream to play with his son, that doesn’t necessarily mean it’s his son’s dream.
It’s quite possible Bronny told him he’d rather carve out his own path, and now Lebron is less motivated to keep going.
Lakers fans: Yes, Lao Zhan recently talked about the idea of competing with his son again. He stressed that playing with his son is his dream, but this does not mean that it is also his son’s dream. It is very likely that brownie once told Lao Zhan that he would prefer to go out of his own way, so now Lao Zhan is not so motivated to continue playing in the league ~
[-]WarriorsCalifornie_cramoisie 35 points 7 hours ago
Or we’ve just all been assuming LeBron was talking about Bronny, when really he was talking about Bryce the whole time.
Warrior fans: Maybe we are all wrong. We all think that Lao Zhan has always said his eldest son brownie. In fact, what he said from beginning to end is his second son Blyth ~ ~
[-]LakersCallecian_427 8 points 6 hours ago
He’s going to be 39 for the majority of next season. With all the reported scar tissue in his ankles I ‘d be more surprised if he didn’t at least consider quality of life after basketball at this point.
Lakers fans: Lao Zhan will be 39 years old next season, and his ankle has been scarred. His career has reached the current point, I would be more surprised if he didn’t consider the quality of personal life after retirement at all ~

blaming lebron for what the media talks about. Lmfao
Fans: The media made up a piece of news. Lao Zhan’s head was at the top of cat litter box, laughing like hell!!
[-]Otherwise_Form1315 22 points 8 hours ago
Guy is fucking 38 and has injuries he’ll be dealing with for a while now. It’ so weird how much we take for granted that dude could just want to go home.
Fan: This guy is TM38 years old, and now he is covered with injuries for a long time! Why does everyone think he owes us? This is too strange! Please let this big brother go home and have a rest!

They act like lebron is the one driving the media narrative. the media can talk about denver if they want and ignore lebron. it’s their job. and the amount of shit takes about him on twitter just shows people like to talk about him, mostly his haters, and then complain about it.
Lakers fans: the reaction from the outside world is like Lao Zhan controlling public opinion. In fact, the media can write news about nuggets and ignore Lao Zhan completely! These days, Twitter has been talking about Lao Zhan. In fact, everyone just likes to talk about him, and most of them are Zhan hei! But it is said that Lao Zhan is controlling public opinion!
[-]Competitive_Office91 41 points 8 hours ago
LeBron gets asked questions. He answers them. The media ALWAYS controls the narrative. Always.
Fans: Yes, and the reporter asked him questions during the interview. Lao Zhan had to answer ~~~ the media is the group that controls public opinion, which is always the case!
