Mike, you’ve said before that this is your last contract — and I just don’t believe it. Can you talk about it? Can you finally tell us that this is not going to be your last contract? Mike James: It finally might be, brother. I got two more years. Why does everybody want me to play longer? Leave me alone. -via YouTube / May 15, 2025
Mike James: 22, 23, 24-year-old guys that are considered stars are getting criticized for not winning a championship, when a lot of our favorite players didn’t win until they were in their late 20s. And it’s become a thing where now guys are like: “[Expletive], let me just at least get one so I’m not labeled like this for the rest of my life.” In a team sport — that is so frustrating. It makes people do things they wouldn’t have done in the past. Simple as that. -via YouTube / May 15, 2025
