Last year, the King told reporters that his son is a more prolific shooter and passer than he was at that age.

“I didn’t handle the ball as well as he does, he handles the ball exceptionally well and he shoots a lot better than I did at that age,” James said last year.

Rumors have swirled in recent days over the possibility of James joining the Los Angeles Lakers next season.
