More on LeBron James
For Gen Z, born between the late 1990s and early 2010s, it’s a completely different ballgame. “It’s really that fandom at the athlete level,” said Joe Flowers, PMG’s Director of Integrated Strategy. “Finding out who are those star personalities? Who are the ones that are dominating your social media feeds? Who were the ones whose highlight reel clips you kept seeing over and over again? Who are the ones who are on the cover of FIFA or on the cover of Madden and had the really cool jersey that you wanted to wear because all your friends were wearing it too?” Flowers noted the recent example of LeBron James fans, who have rooted for him everywhere he goes and have little care for the fate of his former teams.

Etan Thomas: I see other coaches of a of a lighter hue, okay, I'll stay like that, that get opportunity after opportunity after opportunity. And they don't have the resume that you have… Eddie Jordan: And they include their sons on their staffs and everything else. Thomas: And so I'm just looking at it and I agree with the people who I was speaking to at Wegman's. I haven't heard your name come up or Mark Jackson's name come up when there are different openings. And I feel like I should be hearing your name come up. I think that you have built the resume for you to always be getting interviewed at least when new positions open. And just looking back at everything that you and people don't understand everything that you had to deal with when we was with the Wizards and we could talk about… Jordan: It's coming out a little bit. Thomas: There was a lot that you had to deal with and it didn't take away from the winning. Like we were still going to the playoffs every year if it wasn't for coming up against a young LeBron James for those three years straight, we would have even gone further. YouTube | Nov. 11, 2025
