00:00LeBron James yesterday said that he is undecided on whether or not this is going to be his last

00:06year or not. Now, a lot of you don't translate LeBron's words into English. I do. I'm a professional

00:12LeBron translator. So let me walk you through that. When LeBron James says I am undecided

00:17on retiring or not, in English that means there is no way I'm retiring without going on a full

00:24worldwide tour announcing my retirement and receiving gifts and adulation from every single

00:30team in the NBA. So I will announce my retirement before a season starts so I can go on a retirement

00:36tour so everybody can talk about how great my career has been because I'm a selfish egomaniac

00:42and there is no way I would have the class or decency to just retire and disappear into the

00:48sunset. When LeBron James decides he's retiring, it is coming with trumpets blaring, Adam Silver

00:55by his side, and he is going on a state-by-state, coast-to-coast tour so that everyone can acknowledge

01:03how great he was and give him a parting gift and thank him for his amazing contributions

01:08to the NBA. There is no way that egomaniac, that narcissist, is ever going to retire without

01:16it being fully planned out and choreographed like a Beyonce concert. So to answer your

01:22question, when LeBron says he's undecided, what he means is, I'm not retiring. I'm not

01:28retiring until the NBA agrees that next season is referred to as the LeBron season. Yeah.

01:35Now that's very, really cruel for you to talk about, for you to talk about Derek Jeter that

01:40way. That's real messed up. Derek Jeter did no such thing. Yes, he did. Yes, he did.

01:45For you to talk about Derek Jeter in New York. We're in New York right now. For you to talk

01:50about Derek Jeter that way. Yeah. Blasphemous. Yeah. You should be ashamed of what you do there.

01:55Allow me to say this. Allow me to say this. And that baseless attack towards Derek Jeter.

01:59Towards the captain. Mr. Yankee. Yeah. The captain. And that's how you talk about him?

02:02See, but this is what LeBron fans do. Hurtful. Hurtful. Hurtful.

02:07LeBron fans deflect. LeBron fans can't just eat facts. So instead of eating.

02:12One fact. You didn't say a single fact. Pardon me, sir. Instead of eating the reality of what

02:17I'm saying being factual, Tyrone does what all the other LeBron stans do. And that is

02:22deflect away from their guy and find someone else that was at his level. Jeter certainly

02:27is. And I think surpassed him, of course. No, absolutely not.

02:29And greatness. But that being said, rather than own what LeBron is, let me find another

02:36superstar and poke fun at that guy who, by the way, has been retired for a decade. But

02:41let's take shots at Derek Jeter. I didn't. At this stage of his life. You did. I want to

02:45be clear about the Jeter story. I did. The New York Yankees decided to monetize the Jeter

02:51retirement. Not Derek Jeter. He wanted no part of it. But because he's a good soldier and the

02:57Yankees did right by him financially, and he loved the Steinbrenner family, when they

03:02came to him and said, we want to monetize your last year, he begrudgingly said, OK, LeBron's

03:10the author of it. LeBron is the narcissist. LeBron is the guy that wants to be fedded by

03:16every team in the league and told how great he is and what an honor it was to be on the

03:21same court with him. That's the difference. LeBron James is not going to retire without a

03:27parade in every city honoring his greatness. Trust me. Well, if it happens, then I'll

03:33agree with you at that point. But it has not happened. And it also happened with Dirk and

03:37Kobe. It's just messed up the people you talk about.
