[Saba Sports News] LeBron James recently shared that while his time in the NBA is winding down, he hasn’t precisely decided on his retirement approach. Speaking before Sunday’s All-Star Game, James revealed he’s uncertain about the duration of his career, though he acknowledges it will be just a few more years.
He expressed contentment with the Los Angeles Lakers and hinted at a preference to stay with the team.
When discussing the nature of his retirement, whether to have a grand farewell tour or opt for a quiet exit, James described his feelings as split.
“I’m 50-50,” he said, pondering over the idea of giving fans a proper goodbye across cities or retiring discreetly, much like Tim Duncan did. James admitted to struggling with receiving accolades, making the idea of a farewell tour somewhat uncomfortable for him despite seeing its value for his fans.
The retirement discussion for James remains open-ended, akin to Kobe Bryant’s well-publicized farewell season and Duncan’s understated departure. Despite rumors last season hinting at retirement considerations — possibly as leverage with the Lakers — James maintains a sense of ambiguity about his future exit. For now, he prefers to leave fans and the league in suspense, still deciding the best way to conclude his legendary career.
