Well it sounds like the era of LeBron James may be soon coming to an end since the most loved/hated player in the NBA LeBron James Talks Retirement!!!
Find out the details on LeBron James retiring on the flip…
LeBron James has been regarded one of the best players in NBA history over a 13 year career span and now is year 14 his last?
If you ask the superstar, he is claiming that he has no plans of stopping anytime soon, so King James fans can rest easy for another season.
King James says:
“I think later on in my 30s. It’s kind of up to my kids really”
“I’ve missed so much of my kids’ tournaments and things of that nature when I’m playing. So, it’s kind of up to them. They’ll let me know when they’re tired of seeing me go away.”
The four-time NBA MVP, James is apparently leaning towards retirement in his late 30s, which means that there is at least another five years of LeBron on the court. However, the extra strain on his body from being such an efficient player, leading his teams to the playoffs each of the last six years, can become an issue in the long run without the proper preparation.
He goes on to reveal:
“It’s not like I go into the season saying, ‘OK, I’m going to play into June.’ I don’t have that sense of entitlement, but I do prepare myself for the long haul. And saying, if I am fortunate enough to be a part of it, then it’s more of a marathon and not a sprint for me. I’ve played a lot of basketball over the last few years and I’ve been fortunate to play at the highest level for a long time now. I have to listen to my body, and my body has done well for me.”
James is arguably one of the most talented athletes of any sport, of all time. His career has had some ups and downs, over the last few years, but his talent can not be denied.
The record speak for themselves. James is first place all time, in career assists by a forward, first place all time, in points scored in All Star games. James was the youngest player to reach 24,000 points and is number 11 on the NBA all-time scoring list.
