It's official. LeBron James is the last man on the planet who thinks there will be a 2011-12 NBA season. Shortly after giving a speech to more than 350 kids on Monday, Bron-Bron told the AP that he will not consider playing overseas this fall if the NBA lockout considers. But he also revealed that he doesn't think he'll even have to make a decision, because he feels that the NBA will have a 2011-12 season.
"I'm optimistic that we will have a season this year," James said. "Very optimistic...I'm preparing for there to be a training camp in the next month. I'm very optimistic that Billy Hunter and the owners and David Stern will figure out a way to come together and for us to have a season. And I'll be ready for it."
