As I said, Joe, don't your people ask him all the time when they see him, man, how much of what your brother's saying is true, how much of that is real? Like everything, he remembers everything, even though he was small. And y'all see, Chad, everything that I told you. Some of the stuff I forgot.
Some of the stuff I forgot. And sometimes he be telling me stuff, then I can add, I can fill in the blank, like yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I remember that now. But you gotta realize, I mean, my memory from the time I was about five and then my grandfather died when I was eight, about to be nine. So that was, you know, you five years old, your memory is not the greatest, but I just remember him because he didn't really talk a lot, but he had such a commanding voice. He had a very, hey boy, he had one of those type voices. Yeah, yeah. He wasn't big. He'd probably pop out probably about five, seven, maybe five, maybe five, eight, probably about 250 Damn. Yeah. He had a presence about himself. Yeah. And very matter of fact, it wasn't no play, it wasn't no key. I should have told him the story about that when we would fill up to the gas station and the man made jokes about my grandfather had teeth. Oh yeah, yeah.
Yeah, you say you were, hey, hey, Mr. Barney, you better catch the teeth or they run away. Well, Papa put that car apart. Hey, man, I'm a grown man. I don't play.
I'm sorry, Mr. Barney. You should be.
All right, let's get back on track. LeBron James is expected to make his decision regarding free agency this upcoming week, Pershawn Devaney. Joe, where is he going? Hey, man. You know, it's a lot of speculations out there, Uncle Ocho. And, you know, it's a lot of rumblings about different parts going to different places, different players. Link.
I'm beyond which I don't know what the hell he going right now. You know, I think I want to put, you know, Philly in there. I want to put Cleveland. I want to put Miami in there and Golden State them four. I think he's going to go to one of them.
But I also think he's trying to get some help, meaning, like, I don't think he just want to go somewhere by himself unless it's just unless it's Philly. You know what I mean? You can just plug and play in Philly. But even if he goes to Miami, I think he he probably wants to bring a guy to with him. Yep. I've been hearing the rumblings about potential trade with Kyrie. Kyrie going to Cleveland with him. I ain't going to lie. I would love to see that too. It's a few. Hey, man, listen. I think wherever he go, he's going to shake. He's going to shake the basketball world up, bro. Absolutely. Absolutely. What y'all got? What y'all got? Let me hear.
I have no idea, Joe, because there are compelling arguments that can be made for every team that he's going to. But there's also a drawback for every compelling argument that you make. I can make it says, okay, this is why I don't think it makes sense. Absolutely. Absolutely. That's why it's so hard for me to pinpoint one place. Like I said, for me, the easiest fit where I believe he can still be LeBron James and be first or second option is Golden State. That's what's there. For me, everywhere else, you got Donovan, you got James Harden, you got Giannis, and you need shooting spacing. Because now the one thing we know Golden State can do is they can space the floor. Well, space the floor, LeBron has the ball in his hands, he can get downhill.
For me, that makes the most sense. But LeBron James is not looking to do what makes the most sense for Shannon or anybody else. What makes the most sense for LeBron? What's going to be easiest on my family?
Whether I play 26 or I play 26, 27 leading into 28 and call it, do I play 24 and call it a career or do I play 25 and call it a career? It's going to have to make sense to him, not us. Yeah, I agree. I just think the Golden State thing is far-fetched because if they say he won't AD to come with him, I just don't see Washington giving up AD considering what they can accomplish this year. Unc and Ocho, I've already stated that I feel like they can make the biggest jump in the Eastern Conference, but the East is going to be jumping this year. And if I'm brawn, just keeping it 100, it's like, damn, I think I want to get the hell up out the Western Conference, bro.
