Recent statements from James suggest he’s considering retirement, but no definitive decision has been made. After a remarkable 40-point performance against the Brooklyn Nets, James mentioned that he’s “not gonna play another 21 years, that’s for damn sure” and acknowledged that he doesn’t “have much time left”. However, the Lakers star didn’t provide a specific timeline for his retirement.
LeBron James is currently in his 21st season in the NBA, playing for the Los Angeles Lakers. He’s a 4-time NBA champion, 4-time MVP, and 21-time All-Star, with career averages of 24.4 points, 7.8 rebounds, and 8.2 assists per game.
There’s speculation about James potentially playing for another year or two, with some experts believing he’ll return for his 23rd NBA season. Others anticipate a farewell tour, especially if the Lakers don’t improve their roster.
