"Must be back on that ayahuasca" - Fans react to Aaron Rodgers picking between Kobe Bryant and LeBron James

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers was asked to choose between Kobe Bryant and LeBron James at a recent event in Los Angeles. The one-time Super Bowl champion smiled and simply pointed to his shirt, which was vintage apparel featuring Bryant.

Rodgers is a native of Chico, California, so the Lakers possibly have a place in his heart. Rodgers was also seemingly asked to name his top five NBA players. He mentioned Michael Jordan at one, before the video was cut off.

LeBron James viewed as an expiring contract by Lakers FO

After opting into his $52 million contract, LeBron James' future with the LA Lakers was questioned after comments made by his agent, Rich Paul. The Klutch Sports CEO has clarified his remarks, but his client is now entangled in many NBA trade rumors.

One of those rumors is the Lakers viewing James as an expiring contract, as per ESPN's Brian Windhorst. Technically, he is on an expiring deal and would become a free agent at the end of next season. He has a no-trade clause, so the Lakers have to negotiate with him if they want to send him elsewhere.

At 40 years old, James remains one of the best players in the NBA. He still wants to win a championship, but the Lakers are striking out left and right in free agency.
