They are going to make the best decision for them and what they want to do."The former Browns quarterback continued to praise the agent, while claiming they could make any deal happen for LeBron."They have the ability and opportunity to do any and everything they want," Manziel continued.

But that run is in jeopardy this year after he missed the start of the 2025–26 season with sciatica.His agent, Rich Paul, delivered his opinion on James possibly losing this insane streak, revealing the only way he could make it to the All-NBA team this year."Look, at 41 years of age, I hope he is not playing back-to-backs. But at the same time, for him to make the All-NBA team and things like that, he can’t miss that many more games,” Rich Paul said via ESPN’s Dave McMenamin.James can only miss two more games this season if he wants to reach the 65-game minimum needed for postseason awards.
