Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was among those who paid homage to LeBron James when the latter confirmed that he was going to leave the Los Angeles Lakers this summer after spending the past eight years of his NBA career there.
In his appreciation post, Abdul-Jabbar floated the idea of James returning to one of his former teams while joking that he could run for a government position when he retires from basketball.
“LeBron was a winner on and off the court, and Lakers fans should appreciate his performance for the last 8 years. If LeBron goes home to Cleveland, it won’t matter if they win the world championship or not because it’s Hometown fans will get their opportunity to say their goodbyes to one of the greatest ever,” Abdul-Jabbar wrote on X.
“And who knows, one day he may become Mayor!!” he ended.
