LeBron James Would Rather Retire Than Play For Orlando Magic

LeBron James has played for a couple teams in the NBA, but he won’t be taking his talents to Orlando. His time in the NBA bubble was enough time in Orlando for King James.

During HBO’s The Shop, LeBron James reacted to Bad Bunny’s tales about working out with WWE in Orlando. He moved to Orlando and gave up music for months so he could train.

“You gotta understand anytime I hear ‘Orlando’ right now, I get PTSD,” LeBron quipped. This was followed by a heavier declaration that he would rather retire than put on Orlando Magic blue.

“They have no chance…I’ll just retire. It’s over with. ‘LeBron’s been traded to Orlando.’ ‘LeBron lives in Malibu.’”

In case you’re wondering, the Orlando Magic heard LeBron’s comments loud and clear. They responded to a tweet about James’ words by posting a meme of Michael Jordan saying: “…and I took that personally.”

Obviously, LeBron James feels some sort of way about the Magic. He has made his point very clear, but odds are he won’t be forced into a move to Orlando unless he really wants to. As of this writing, it seems that Lakers fans have nothing to worry about.
