Before you go blaming ESPN for making this up… nope. This is actually happening. 

LeBron James has officially turned NBA free agency into the world’s longest dating show. We’re now into Week 2, and according to reports, teams aren’t just calling Rich Paul anymore—they’re sending LeBron voice messages! 

That’s right… multimillionaire owners, presidents, and general managers are apparently leaving LeBron voicemails like they’re trying to win back an ex. 

“Hey Bron… just wanted to let you know… we’re thinking about you. Call us when you get a chance.” 

Seriously? Is this the NBA or Tinder?

Rich Paul has become the middleman of all middlemen. Instead of executives flying to Cleveland with PowerPoint presentations like they did years ago, they’re now sending audio messages. 

Imagine Pat Riley leaving a voicemail.

“LeBron… it’s Pat. The beach misses you. The championships miss you. Florida has no state income tax… call me.” 

Or Cleveland… 

“Hey Bron… remember home? We still have your locker. We even kept the parking spot warm.” 

Then you’ve got Philadelphia trying harder than everybody else. 

Bob Myers literally jumped on Rich Paul’s podcast to campaign for the Sixers like he’s running for mayor. 

“Vote Philadelphia! We have Joel Embiid… we have cheesesteaks… and we’ll even pretend the Eagles don’t exist if you sign here!”

At this point I’m waiting for teams to start sending singing telegrams.

The Knicks might send Spike Lee. 

Golden State could have Steph Curry record a duet. 

The Lakers might accidentally butt-dial him. 

And somewhere Jerry Jones is probably leaving LeBron a voicemail even though it’s the wrong sport. 

The funniest part? LeBron isn’t in any rush. 

He’s on vacation. 

He’s golfing. 

He’s hanging out with family. 

Meanwhile, NBA executives are staring at their phones every five minutes like teenagers waiting for someone to text back. 

“Did he listen to my message yet?” 

“It says delivered…”

“Why hasn’t he responded?” 

Rich Paul already told teams money isn’t the issue. So now everybody has to convince LeBron with vibes, championships, culture, and apparently their best radio voice. 

This whole thing feels less like NBA free agency and more like The Bachelor: NBA Edition. 

LeBron, you’ve got 30 roses to hand out… just make a decision before training camp starts! 

Because if this drags on any longer, owners won’t be sending voice notes… 

…they’ll be sending karaoke videos. And trust me, nobody wants to hear an NBA owner sing “I Want It That Way.” That’s a max contract nobody should have to watch.

My name is Errol Marks and I’d like to tell you why I believe I can be a major asset to your station. I’m from a small town in Long Island, NY and from a very young age I’ve always had a love for sports talk radio. Growing up, I would listen religiously to shows like Mike and the Mad Dog, Mike and Mike, and Imus in the Morning and studied what made those shows so great. I’ve made it my goal to be as influential as the hosts I grew up listening to, and with my knowledge of all major sports, enthusiastic and fearless personality, and my preparation skills, I know I can get to that level. This is an art and a medium that I’m passionate about and one that I feel can never be replaced.

What makes my story so unique goes beyond my 10+ years of experience in sports media. In addition to over ten years of creating and hosting sports talk radio shows, I created the World Wide Sports Radio Network - one of the first ever digital sports radio networks - in 2012. Since the network began, we have had some of the best content in digital sports media. We have six quality shows on our network covering all sports and sports betting. I’m currently hosting New York’s Sports Loud Mouth, and you can find that show and the rest of our great shows at https://worldwidesportsradio.com/.

Our network’s content and listenership has grown significantly year to year and, in the past year, we’ve achieved 3.6 million minutes listened on our audio stream, over 29k followers on tik tok, 500k viewed on YouTube, 1.7 million downloads on Apple Podcasts, and 906,917 plays on Spotify. While we are enjoying a continued increase in growth, I feel that we can take this to a new level and a new audience with your help.

My goal since the day I started is to become the greatest and most recognizable sports radio show host in the country. I can guarantee that nobody in this industry currently has my passion, personality or ability to shape the future of sports broadcasting and entertainment like I do. If given the opportunity, I hope to further share my story and many talents with you and your station.
