“LeBron won’t leave without doing this, that’s for sure”

Although already denied, the possible retirement of LeBron James this summer has caused a lot of talk since the elimination of the Lakers. False alarm in view of recent rumors, especially since the King has not planned to leave without one thing according to a former teammate.

Retirement ? Not retired? You have to believe that LeBron James has already made its decision behind the scenes. Unsurprisingly, we learn that he should return in October for a next season, pending the arrival of his son Bronny in the NBA. We live perhaps the last two campaigns of the native of Akron, with an objective always as specific to the Lakers: the gain of a new title.

LeBron’s goal for his final season

Nevertheless, and a bit like Kobe Bryant, he says to himself that the Chosen One would very much like to keep some memories of his last NBA campaign. The goal ? A kind of farewell tour through the different rooms. In any case, this is revealed by Kendrick Perkins, who therefore does not believe for a moment in this story of retirement.

Kendrick Perkins sur LeBron James “Even he wasn’t really thinking about retirement. He won’t leave without having this farewell tour. This message went directly to Rob Pelinka and Jeanie Buss. »

No, no retirement for James, even if it must be recognized that almost no one believed this story. The King remains in great shape compared to the rest of the NBA, and let’s not forget Bronny’s presence in 2024, at least if all goes well. Afterwards ? It will be a different story for the former Cavs player.

Very good point. He literally made a show for his free agency decision. Most definitely he’s having a tour of tours

Very good remark. He literally put on a show for his free agent decision.

We know ya’ll we know, he’s just distracting from the sweep

We all know, he just wants to distract us from the sweep

No retirement for LeBron James, not without a long goodbye on the NBA courts. It remains to be seen whether this “tour” will take place with Bronny, and under what conditions. But we can count on the league to bring out the big game for the King.
