LeBron James knows a thing or two about making Decisions.
So Chris Walker figured he’d go ahead and ask The King to help him with his decision.
“I’m a top 5 player in the country in class of 2013. Where should I go to college Mr. James?” Walker asked James on Twitter.
The 6-foot-9 Walker out of Bonifay (Fla.) Holmes County is one of the top power forwards in the Class of 2013 and recently told SNY.tv his top three were Kansas, Florida and UConn.
“If LeBron hits me back and tells me where he thinks I should go, I’d do it,” Walker told ESPN’s Jason Jordan in an interview this week. “In my opinion, he’s the best player in the league and I really look up to him. Plus, he’s the king. Gotta listen to the king, right?”
James didn’t respond on Twitter, but told ESPN.com’s Brian Windhorst in an interview that Kentucky or Ohio State would be his suggestions.
James is from Ohio and attended last week’s Duke-Ohio State game. He’s also close with Kentucky coach John Calipari, who has yes yet to offer Walker a scholarship.
“The advice I would give Chris Walker is to follow his heart and go where he believes he can help the program and they can give him a great education,” James told ESPN.com.
“Of course Ohio State and Kentucky are my two favorite programs for many reasons. They have great basketball programs, great coaches, players and are two of the best colleges in America. But with that said, Chris, you will know where you want to go when the time comes. I’m looking forward to seeing you make the decision and take your talents to that program and shine.”
