NBA-ийн алдартай тоглогч шинэ багтаа элсэх асуудлаар тодорхой байр суурь илэрхийлээгүй хэвээр байна.
Нью-Йорк хотод болсон Fanatics Fest арга хэмжээний үеэр Леброн Жеймс аварга авах дадал хэвшилтэй, үйл явцыг бүхнээс илүү эрхэмлэдэг багт тоглох хүсэлтэй байгаагаа илэрхийлэв. Тэрээр үйл явцад итгэх буюу “trust the process” гэх хэллэгийг ашигласан нь Филадельфиа Севенти Сиксерстэй холбоотой ойлголтыг төрүүлсэн ч, уг хэллэгийг өөрийн карьерын эхэн үеэс буюу 2003 оноос хойш ашиглаж ирснээ онцолжээ.
Үүний дараа тэрээр цаг агаар дулаан газар руу явах боломжтойг ёжлон дурдсан нь Майами эсвэл Сан-Франциско зэрэг хотыг онилсон байж болзошгүй гэх таамаг дэвшүүлж байна. 41 настай, 24 дэх улиралдаа тоглохоор зэхэж буй Леброн Жеймс сүүлийн өдрүүдэд олон нийтийн арга хэмжээнд оролцсон ч ирэх багийнхаа талаар тодорхой хариулт өгөхөөс татгалзлаа.

LeBron James made another public appearance Friday with no real update regarding his next NBA team.
According to a video posted to X by ESPN reporter Dave McMenamin, James, on stage at Fanatics Fest in New York, appeared to say he wanted to join a franchise that “shares the same model as myself, and that’s like practicing championship (habits) every day, but trusting the process more than anything.” In the same answer, he said “trust the process” again, which was a slogan tied to the Philadelphia 76ers’ rebuild around Joel Embiid.
When he said it, the large crowd on hand appeared to react. Someone with James on stage seemed to refute that he was talking about the Sixers, and James added that he had used that phrase since he was drafted in 2003. “I don’t think Embiid was even born yet,” James said.
Where will LeBron James end up?

Then, James either seemed to further the joke — or rope one or two other teams into it.
“Y’all always think I’m talk(ing) … OK, so we got (to) trust the process, and then if you get to a place where it’s real sunny,” James said, with the crowd seemingly reacting to that, too. According to McMenamin’s video, there appeared to be boos.
“Real sunny” might’ve been a reference to the TV show “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia,” or it could have been a teasing of a potential destination like Miami or San Francisco, with nice weather. Cleveland and Minnesota, and to a lesser extent Denver, do not have as nice weather.
James, 41, is set to leave a team in free agency for the fourth time in his career, which is about to extend to 24 seasons. James took the stage Friday for a live recording of his YouTube Show, “The Shop.” He had a similar appearance Thursday at Fanatics Fest, offering up a nothing burger during a live recording of his podcast “Mind the Game” with co-host Tyrese Haliburton. He also appeared during a panel at the CNBC/Boardroom Game Plan event.
“I won’t hold you guys up too much longer,” James said then.
