LeBron refuses to talk about the «new face of the NBA» and says that what counts is the culture

LeBron James commented on Friday the open debate in many US media about who should be the new «face» of the NBA in the new generation and considered that the only thing that says «is the culture of basketball» and not «a single person.»

«It’s not about the ‘face of this sport’ and it is not a person or a show. This is the basketball culture, the most beautiful sport in the world. Our sport has never been better. Young incredible stars from all over the world and others older, ”LeBron wrote in his ‘X’ account.

«Let’s talk about the good ones who are OKC (Oklahoma City Thunder) and the (Cleveland) cavs with two completely different basketball styles … Obviously, if the players do not yield, let’s talk about that too,» he added.

«It is not about me either. To this point I am no longer interested in what they say about me, there is always something. This is the impact that negativity is having in our good sport and in our fans, ”he concluded.

LeBron, 40, continues to dominate in the NBA with other veteran stars such as Steph Curry, who on Thursday signed 56 points in a match of the Golden State Warriors against the Orlando Magic.

American media and television networks are dedicating a lot of space to the «NBA new face» and name Anthony Edwards, of the Minnesota Timberwolves, or the Frenchman Victor Wembanyama, as brighter stars.
