LeBron James, the Los Angeles Lakers star, has been surrounded by rumors of his pending retirement for years. However, he has shown no signs of slowing down, dominating games and leading Team USA to the quarterfinal stage in the Olympics.
King James addressed the retirement timeline, saying he isn’t asked about it much and that people expect him to play for 10 more years. Despite being 40 years old and entering his 22nd season, LeBron James has been playing at an elite level, averaging 14.3 points, 6.7 rebounds, and 7.3 assists for Team USA.
I don’t get asked that much, to be honest. Everyone expects me to play 10 more years for some odd reason.
LeBron James to Brian Windhorst
James re-signed with the Lakers on a two-year deal, giving himself options for his future. He likely has another few years left in the league, and alongside co-star Anthony Davis, the Lakers have a chance to compete in the Western Conference.
The Lakers’ success depends on James’ health and the supporting cast, but with James leading the team, they have a chance to make another run for a title. James will retire soon, but for now, he remains the key to the Lakers’ success.
LeBron James remains neutral in Kendrick Lamar vs. Drake beef
LeBron James appears neutral in the Kendrick Lamar vs. Drake beef, despite attending Kendrick’s Juneteenth concert in Los Angeles. James posted a photo of Drake’s special edition Air Force 1s on his Instagram story, suggesting he still supports the rapper.
Kendrick Lamar’s diss track “Not Like Us” has been dominating the charts since its release and is seen as the unofficial song of the summer. The track was part of a series of diss tracks aimed at Drake, which many saw as a decisive victory for Kendrick.
James has long been a fan of both artists, and his attendance at Kendrick’s concert in June was seen as a sign of support for the rapper. However, his recent post suggests he may still be a fan of Drake’s music and is not taking sides in the beef.
