John Salley spoke on the possibility of LeBron James possibly hanging around in the NBA, hoping to participate alongside his son. Despite Salley validating LeBron’s potential plan, he also emphasizes the inevitability of moving on from being an athlete, recalling his own retirement at 36 and subsequent switch to acting and producing in Hollywood. In a previous VladTV interview, former NFL player Rashard Mendenhall talked about his decision to walk away from football at 26. He emphasizes that he never saw football as the be-all and end-all of his life, leaving the sport became an option when the pitfalls of the sports career began to overshadow the benefits. The conversation also examined the increasing trend of younger athletes entering the industry and the average NBA player age of 26 years. In essence, Salley emphasizes that while there may be outliers like LeBron, it is still more beneficial for the industry to herald younger athletes.
