In December LeBron James will be 40 years old and many are wondering how many more seasons he will play in the league, if any.
It's surprising that it will be LeBron's 22nd NBA season in 2024-25, but will he be on the court next season or just retire?
James' longtime agent and friend Rich Paul thinks he'll do it first.
“Yeah, you know, I believe so… This guy has committed more than half of his life to the game of basketball… I think we'll see him next year,” said Paul. SiriusXM NBA Radio. “Now, how many more after that? I don't know. But I think he has maybe two or three years left in the tank, maybe.”
James' last comment about the future of the game was in April.
When asked how long he expects to continue playing in the league.
“It hasn't been long. … I'm not going to play another 21 years, that's for sure,” the Lakers star said. “But not for too long. I don't know when that door will close until I retire. But I don't have much time left.”
There is a lot of discussion surrounding not only how much time LeBron has left in the NBA, but where he will play his last few seasons.
Sports personality Cari Champion sent Lakers fans into a frenzy when she shared some interesting information about LeBron, just hours before the Lakers took on the Nuggets.
“I just got a text from my friend. He says tonight is LeBron's last game in purple and gold,” Champion, who once played SportsCenter anchor, written in X.
The 2024 NBA draft may provide more clarity on what LeBron's future plans are.
If his son Bronny decides to enter the program, James may go to any team that signs him, so that he can fulfill his dream of playing in the league alongside him.
We've yet to see a father and son take the NBA court at the same time and play for the same team, so James will once again enter the history books if this happens.
