Nick Wright leads LeBron James interview stakes per latest odds

LeBron James

The host of ESPN’s “The Pat McAfee Show,” Pat McAfee, managed to get a rare in-depth interview with the NBA’s all-time top scorer, LeBron James. The legendary “College GameDay” star said that his meeting with James “covered everything,” and it did. James spoke about various issues in and around the NBA as well as his ongoing beef with Stephen A. Smith.

Now, with James talking about various issues, fans were quick to hear the podcast and get some exclusive information from the NBA star. This now poses an important question. Who will interview LeBron James next, after Pat McAfee? Per Boavada, a famous sportsbook site, Fox Sports analyst Nick Wright has the best odds to interview James.

Nick Wright’s First Things First has an odds of +300 to interview LeBron James. Wright is followed by the likes of Shannon Sharpe and Draymond Green in Bovada’s list. Notably, Wright recently attended James’ matchup against the Memphis Grizzlies at the FedExForum. Not only that, but after the game, James also greeted Wright.

This has sparked Wright’s chances of getting an exclusive interview with LeBron James in the future. Earlier, one would deem veteran journalist Brian Windhorst to interview James, but that does not seem to be the case anymore. The odds for Brian Windhorst & The Hoop Collective are +8000. This comes after James’ recent comments on McAfee’s podcast.

Nevertheless, it all comes down to the Los Angeles Lakers stars’ decision to sit down for an interview or no. Watching who sits down with the King for an interview/podcast next will be interesting.

Shannon Sharpe’s chances to interview LeBron James look slim after recent criticism

Shannon Sharpe has a good relationship with LeBron James. However, Sharpe’s recent criticism of James may not land him an interview with him. For context, James was involved in multiple errors, leading to his side’s loss against the Chicago Bulls last week. After the game, Sharpe charged in on James via his X handle.

Bron, you’ve got 2 be fcking kidding me. You gambled and gave up a 3 and turned it over that led 2 another 3. What was a 5 pt lead with 12 secs. You’re dwn with 6 secs and lose on a half-court shot after Reaves puts you up 1 with 3 secs. FC***KKKKKK

Now, James always keeps track of the noise around him. With Sharpe going all out to criticize the King, it looks highly unlikely that James would attend the former’s ‘Club Shay Shay’ podcast show in the future. Despite being stunned by Sharpe’s criticism of LeBron, many NBA social media users had to stand with the former NFL tight end.

Brian Windhorst stands no chance to interview LeBron James after the latter’s recent comments

During his appearance on “The Pat McAfee Show” on Wednesday, LeBron James was frank regarding NBA writer Brian Windhorst. James called him out for acting too close to himself. This clearly states that Windhorst too does not stand a chance to interview the Lakers star in the future.

I see Brian Windhorst on one of these shows not too long ago. The guy who says he’s like my (expletive) best friend, These guys … it’s weird.

LeBron James said

In addition, Windhorst responded to James’ remarks. He claimed that he ‘encourages’ players to hold the NBA media accountable if they are wrong in their reporting. It’s about striking “that balance,” Windhorst continued, adding that a whole show of them talking about Xs and Os won’t be good either.
