If you sign with Nike, everything will be different. I might even make a comeback next season to support you, hand over my spotlight to you, something Roger would never do for you.
At Nike and in Cleveland, you're not Michael's little brother; you're the Chosen One, destined to surpass greatness.
My era is long gone, Roger's era is fading. So what's next? This era belongs to you, LeBron, and only to you.
You will defeat Roger, wear the crown, win everything, not just a paycheck."
Upon hearing this, LeBron James widened his eyes.
Michael Jordan coming back? To support me?
18-year-old LeBron James took a puff of a cigar like Michael Jordan, exhaling the smoke.
He wanted to own this era, he wanted to win everything.
The most important thing is, he didn't want to be just a shadow under Roger's greatness.
He wasn't just a draft pick; he had grander goals!
The next day, Roger learned from Reebok that LeBron James backed out.
