The Los Angeles Lakers have been eliminated from the NBA playoffs. Now superstar LeBron James is even thinking about retiring.
NBA superstar LeBron James wants to think about his future as a basketball player after the playoff with the Los Angeles Lakers. “At this point in my career, I only play to win titles. I don’t get a kick out of being in the conference finals. I’ve been there – many times. I don’t enjoy it if I’m not a part of it, in to come to the finals,” said the 38-year-old league points record holder on Monday evening (local time) after the fourth loss in the fourth game against the Denver Nuggets.
“I have a lot to think about”
Regarding his future, he says: “We’ll see what happens. There’s a lot to think about. I don’t know. I have a lot to think about, if I’m honest. How basketball is going for me personally, since there’s a lot to think about.”
The “ESPN” broadcaster reported shortly after the press conference on a brief exchange between James and a reporter. When asked how his comment should be understood, James replied: “Do I want to continue playing?” And when asked if he would just leave ahead of the upcoming season, he said: “I’ll have to think about that.”
James had signed a new contract with the Lakers last fall, which is valid until the 2024/2025 season if he takes the option for the second year. James will be 40 years old in December 2024. In the past he has expressed several times that he would like to play on an NBA team with his eldest son. LeBron James Jr., known as Bronny, will play in college for the University of Southern California next season and won’t be in the NBA until the 2024/2025 season at the earliest.
