LeBron James' longtime friend and business partner, Maverick Carter, says the NBA star would have held off on entering the NBA draft right out of St. Vincent-St. Mary High School had there been measures in place like bill SB 206 intends to implement.
"I think if you got paid you would have went to play college basketball," Carter said on the latest episode of "The Shop," the lively barbershop-style discussion show produced by James' and Carter's media company, Uninterrupted.
"It would have been fun," James said in agreement.
It's too late for James to suit up for March Madness, but the Los Angeles Lakers star is focused on the next generation of athletes maximizing their earning potential during their time on college campuses.
