"Zero chance" - LeBron James squashes fans' hopes of ever becoming a coach in the NBA

LeBron James

is inching closer to the end of his career as a professional basketball player. At 40 years old, it won't be long before he bids adieu to the basketball court and becomes a spectator.

While the game will always be a part of him, one thing he is not gunning for in the future is that of being a coach. While many fans have asked the Lakers star over and over, he seems pretty determined about the fact that he won't be going into the coaching business.

LeBron James has no plans of becoming a coach

LeBron James has completed 22 seasons as a professional basketball player in the NBA and won four NBA championships so far in his illustrated career. His fans love him dearly and are quick to go to war whenever someone comes after him. He is considered one of the greatest basketball players of all time, a status similar to another NBA legend, Michael Jordan.

And Bron seems to be going in the same direction as MJ when it comes to his post-player life.

Recently, on his Mind the Game podcast, co-host Steve Nash asked him a question from a fan who wanted to know which team Bron would prefer to coach if he ever went that route. Both Nash and James, though, were quick to refute any coaching future for the NBA great, who says he has no plans for it."There's no way. There's no way guys... It ain't happening. No team. Zero chance."He, along with Nash, was seen laughing at the prospect of ever becoming a coach, vehemently opposing even the idea of it. So, sorry to all the fans who were hoping to see LeBron James courtside leading a team to a championship as a coach, but it seems like he has no appetite for it. While he can be seen running alongside his sons' high school teams when they are playing, he has previously stated very plainly, that it's more of him being an excited dad rather than trying to coach the team when they already have capable people doing the job.
