LeBron James is still one of the biggest names in basketball as he enters his 23rd NBA season. The Lakers’ forwards continue to compete at a high level and inspire a new generation of players. But in a recent interview, he drew attention by his thoughtful approach to answering questions about his relationship with the all-time legend Michael Jordan.

In a preview for the final episode of Mind the Game, James recalls his childhood hero without diving into the usual Goat debate. The clip, released ahead of Tuesday’s finale, shows James taking care of Jordan’s impact. He focused on admiration and what they could do if they played together.

“There was nobody more inspiring to me than Michael Jordan,” James said. “For me, I think our games would’ve complemented each other well. MJ was a flat-out scorer. He had a scorer’s mentality—scorer, scorer, scorer.”

James answered the question in a classy way. He did not fuel the fire but just showed love and respect to the legend. With another season around the corner, he is clearly more focused on the court than on anything else, except his game.

James continues to stay in the limelight even in the NBA offseason. The Lakers star was seen at rapper Nas’ concert in Las Vegas. He greeted the artist mid-performance before casually leaving the venue. The simple gesture quickly gained public attention.

Earlier, James was found cheering on his son, Bronny James, during a summer league win over the New Orlando Pelicans. Bronny scored 14 points in the Lakers’ 94-81 victory. While trade rumors grew, James remains carefree.

NBA insider reports that teams like the Dallas Mavericks and the Cleveland Cavaliers showed interest in him. Still, James holds a full no-trade clause, which gives him control over his next move.

Discussing her recent surgery, she added: ‘I feel very grateful to have completely recovered.

‘I feel really good. I have a lot of people reaching out who have had the same thing.’

Davina McCall, 56, announced in November she’d been diagnosed with a colloid cyst, a rare type of benign brain tumour, and has supported Fearne.

She continued: ‘Everyone needs a Davina. She’s been amazing, weird that we had the same health thing going on at the same time. She’s so calming and we speak every day. She is just the best

It comes after Fearne has seemingly made another thinly-veiled dig at her ex-husband as she gushed that she is the happiest she’s ever been in a positive update.

Speaking to Scott Mills on his BBC Radio 2 breakfast show, Fearne gushed that she is ‘really happy’ and is ‘springing out of bed in the morning ready for life’.

Scott, who has known Fearne for 25 years, said he has never seen her ‘more positive or happier’, prompting Fearne to agree and reply: ‘Yeah I feel great!’
