LeBron James has been an iconic figure within the basketball industry for decades since the start of his career in the early 2000s. While his sporting career has kept being steady despite his age, no sports player stays in the professional field forever.
LeBron’s surprise exit from the Los Angeles Lakers was a surprise for many, especially after his son Bronny James joined his father on the team during his time as a rookie player. Following his exit, discussion has mounted on where LeBron will end up, and if he chooses a different team, will it kick off the final years of his career?
While nothing is set in stone, signs are pointing to an increased likelihood of LeBron retiring from basketball. Now that he is an unrestricted free agent, LeBron can talk all the time in the world to decide where to go from here. That said, a decision is on the horizon, and fans are clamoring for any answers.
However, whether LeBron retires also has to take into account his physicality and mental fortitude, which have not declined despite being in his 23rd season. LeBron has continued to play well and make many memorable moments on the court. So far, LeBron hasn’t denied that he wouldn’t be going forward with his 24th season.
Everything depends on what happens after the 24th season concludes. However, if at that point LeBron does announce his retirement, he’ll still have cemented himself as one of the greatest basketball players of all time.
