While everyone in the hockey community is waiting to find out where John Tavares is going to be playing next season, basketball fans are waiting patiently to find out where LeBron James is going to be playing next season.
As a result of everyone trying to get some sort of inside scoop on where LeBron wants to go, his former teammate Richard Jefferson had some fun with the entire situation and decided to go public with an announcement that he’s ending his friendship with LeBron.
The 2016 NBA champion wrote the note on his phone and then uploaded it to his Snapchat account in hopes of putting an end to reporters and random fans asking him for an inside scoop.
“It is with great remorse that I am writing this. After many years as a peer and many years as friend and teammate I have decided to end my friendship with Lebron James. I am saying this publicly so that the fans and media members can please stop asking me where he is going in free agency. I don’t know, my family doesn’t know and neither do my kids.. Unfortunately I live in Los Angeles so the questions are unavoidable but hopefully this helps to clear things up. Truth be told I never liked the guy. He works too hard it makes the rest of us look bad. He’s my son’s favorite player and I view that as a complete betrayal of how hard I’ve worked to put a roof over his head. I’m sorry I’m having to give this “Drake” response but I feel like this is the best way to address this issue that I’m clearly losing also. I wish everyone the best of luck in free agency.. Teams and Players. Oh and to Channing Frye also.. just because!”
This is easily the greatest note we’ve ever seen an athlete post before, real or not.
