James teased about his retirement news, and I have been asking myself the same question
Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James is 40 years old. As the oldest player in the NBA, he also wants to win the NBA championship. In order to win the championship in recent years, he still insists on self-discipline, hard work and hard training. However, since winning the championship in 2020, he has never returned to the finals.
Many fans and media believe that LeBron James is really old, and that his era is over, and it is time to let young players take the lead. Many people advised LeBron James to retire and retain his final dignity. After all, he could no longer dominate the game like he did in the past and lead the team to the finals.
For the NBA, they still hope that LeBron and James can play two more seasons. Because LeBron James can bring huge attention and traffic, this is what the league needs the most. Moreover, the NBA has not completed the real replacement of new and old, and there is no young super giant who can really take the lead.
However, it is only a matter of time before LeBron James retires. If it is fast, after the end of the 2025-26 season, and if it is slow, it is the 2026-27 season. LeBron James will definitely pay attention to this retirement issue. After all, he wants to hold a retirement tour for himself and put a perfect end to his more than 20-year NBA career. Recently, LeBron James posted a video on his retirement issue on his personal social media, hitting back on rumors from the outside world.
"At a mock press conference, a reporter asked James, are the retirement rumors true? Then, he was ready to respond before the screen went dark. The NBA's all-time scoring champion was just adding fuel to the topic with his explanation."
LeBron James replied, "I have been asking myself the same question..."
LeBron James may determine his retirement date in the 2025 offseason, but it is not an easy task for LeBron James. Because as long as he still wants to continue playing, some teams are willing to offer a two-year contract with an annual salary of US$40 to 50 million to allow him to continue playing.
After all, LeBron James' ticket appeal is there, and he can attract some sponsors, which is a good thing for a team that owns LeBron James. The benefits they get from it are enough to get them to pay LeBron James' big contract.
Now, LeBron James has a $52.6 million player option. He will most likely continue to stay with the Lakers for a retired tour season. However, many people also believe that LeBron James may return to the Cleveland Cavaliers, return to where the dream began, and end his career.
The most important thing is that the Lakers have been unwilling to pay a lot of luxury taxes over the years to build a lineup with the ability to win the championship. For LeBron James, who wants to win the championship again, the Cleveland Cavaliers are more attractive than the Los Angeles Lakers.
