LeBron holds Twitter Q&A, teases hockey shootout with Brady
LeBron James held an impromptu Twitter Q&A on Monday night, enthralling fans with some NBA content with no playoff games scheduled.
James, 37, just finished his 19th season in the league. Understandably, he was inundated with the question of how many more years he has left. The four-time champion confidently replied that heβs feeling great, and despite not having a definite timeline, he has plenty left in the tank.
The way I feel, I can go on for a min to be honest. It's really up to me and my mental staying fresh/sharp! I'm still psycho driven!

He also reaffirmed the notion that playing with his son, Bronny James, is still the plan. When asked about the score the last time the two played one-on-one, James said the game was truncated because he broke the backboard.
That's the plan! God willing ππΎπ€πΎ

The last time we actually played I shattered the backboard on a dunk so we couldn't finish the game. π€·πΎββοΈπ€£

It was only a matter of time before celebrities began to get in on the fun. Seven-time Super Bowl champion Tom Brady asked James who would win an ice hockey shootout. The four-time MVP replied, βme but barely. May be swinging from my knees though,β followed by a slew of laughing emojis.

Considering the popularity of TNT's The Match, a special golf match featuring two teams consisting of various pro golfers and star NFL players in which Brady will feature for the third time in a few weeks, perhaps a hockey showdown along the same lines between James and the legendary quarterback is not such a bad idea.
James was also very candid during the viral Q&A, opening up about his toughest career moments and who heβd take as a teammate in a two-on-two game against Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen.
Losing in the finals to Dallas after playing like π©π©!! I hit the reset button, went back to the basics, worked on things in my game I needed to get better at so the defense couldn't just sit on 1 thing. Hours & hours & hours everyday in the off season on it. Came back π in! π€·πΎββοΈ

The future first-ballot Hall of Famer showed love to Luka Doncic, as well, extolling him as his favourite player in the NBA under 25 years old. James has lauded Doncic in the past and recently showed love to the young phenom for his scintillating performance in Dallasβ Game 7 route against the Phoenix Suns.
LUKA. He's my fav player!!
