The
NHL has extended an offer to LeBron James to officially declare him the
best player in hockey history, if only he will come play for the league
and help bring a little of his publicity. Commissioner Gary Bettman
said that all this debate about who is better, him or Kobe, can easily
be settled if he just comes to the NHL. He explains there is no Kobe
here.
"We are prepared to say he's the best ever," said Bettman.
"Gretzky is nobody, Crosby is nobody, LeBron will be the king of the
hockey world. We're going to also retire his jersey and number, so that
no one else will be able to use it around the league. He's also had
trouble winning a championship, so we'll even give whatever team he
wants to play on this year's Stanley Cup trophy. It's not like
Pittsburgh or Detroit needed another one of these anyway. This is a
heck of an offer, which I don't feel the NBA can ever match."
The
allure of ending the who's the best debate, plus a free championship,
might be enough to get LeBron to make the move. Both he and his puppet
are considering making the move, and Nike is working on a new pair of
LeBron skates. Something that would appeal to kids in urban areas and
be comfortable enough where they could wear them to school.
LeBron expects to make a decision some time over the offseason. Bettman has already begun an expansion of the NHL Hall Of Fame called the LeBron James Wing.
