The NBA's $76 billion TV deal is currently on hold because one 41-year-old won't say where he wants to work.
Adam Silver, the commissioner, admitted it today: the league cannot finish the 2026-27 schedule until LeBron James picks a team. Teams are calling. Networks are calling. The answer to all of them is "we're waiting on LeBron."
The story gets wilder when you know the context. LeBron is the oldest player in the NBA, entering season 24. He's also still one of its best: he just dragged the Lakers to the playoffs, then announced he was leaving. Three franchises are reportedly in the running.
Here's why one player freezes a $76 billion machine. The NBA is one season into an 11-year deal with Disney, NBC, and Amazon. Those partners split a fixed pool of premium inventory: opening night, Christmas Day, the big national windows. LeBron has played on Christmas a record 20 times, the last 19 seasons straight. Wherever he signs instantly becomes a Christmas team, an opening week team, and a 25-game national TV team. Until he signs, none of those slots can be assigned. The whole calendar is downstream of one man's group chat.
Run the math on what's waiting. $76 billion over 11 years is roughly $7 billion a year in media money, and the schedule that deal was priced on can't be built. So the commissioner of a $7-billion-a-year league is doing interviews politely asking an employee of one of his 30 teams to please make up his mind.
No other league works this way. The NFL schedules around teams. The NBA schedules around a person.
"Hoje é dia de Nossa Senhora do que, me conte!"
"Do Carmo."
"O que pediu pra ela?"
"Que nada aconteça comigo. Pq minha mãezinha faleceu."
"Perdeu sua mãezinha?"
"Sim."
"Quando?"
"Maio. Fiz 8 anos e não vi minha mãezinha. Porque tá no céu."
Meu Deus...
Você sabia que o Flamengo literalmente mudou o vocabulário do futebol brasileiro?
Hoje todo mundo fala "volante" para se referir ao jogador que protege a defesa.
Mas esse nome não existia.
A posição passou a ser chamada assim por causa de um argentino chamado Carlos Volante, que jogou no Flamengo entre 1938 e 1943 e foi tetracampeão carioca pelo Mengão.
Carlos Volante era tão dominante na função de marcar, recuperar bolas e organizar o meio-campo que técnicos e jornalistas começaram a dizer:
"Esse jogador atua igual ao Volante."
Com o tempo, o sobrenome virou o nome da posição.
Ou seja: toda vez que você fala que um time precisa de um volante, está citando um jogador que fez história no Flamengo há quase 90 anos.
O Flamengo não criou apenas ídolos.
Criou uma palavra que entrou para o dicionário do futebol brasileiro.
LeBron James says never winning Defensive Player of the Year still bothers him
“That's the only award that I don't have in my house, that kind of stings. It don't make sense. The year I finished second in Defensive Player of the Year, the guy who won didn't even make First Team All-Defense”
“I also had an opportunity to be the first unanimous MVP, where I got all 120 votes, but I got 119. It was the one vote and he voted for Carmelo. It was a writer from Boston, of course. I know his name too, but I ain't going to give him that light just yet”
“Why are they voting. That doesn't make sense. I don't know the answer, but why are they voting if you're not watching the game, you're not studying the game, and you're not listening to the peers in the game who are telling you, he's the best player”
