Basketball <\/p>\n
If you\u2019re an athlete, you\u2019d ideally reach your twilight years by the time you\u2019re 35. It seems like a good, round number that fits all sports. More so for a sport like basketball \u2013 where your physicality and reliability are key to your place in the team. But does logic really matter when you\u2019re LeBron James? The King is still ranked among the top-10 players of the season aged 40, in his 22nd season in the NBA. Dominating for a year in the majors in itself will get you recognition forever. But doing the same for 22 years straight? Remarkable. And he\u2019s not done yet.<\/p>\n
Shams Charania of ESPN has just gone and confirmed the Lakers superstar for another season at least.\u00a0\u201cThere\u2019s no expectation for LeBron James to retire, will say that. My sense, my understanding is he will play at least another NBA season. You think about next year, 2025-26. It\u2019ll be year 23 that would set a league record. Year 23 for number 23. The All-Star game is in Los Angeles. He\u2019s potentially playing in Los Angeles. There\u2019s a lot of stars that would align for next season, potentially, if that\u2019s what LeBron James decides,\u201d<\/em> said Shams on ESPN.<\/p>\n ADVERTISEMENT<\/p>\n Article continues below this ad<\/p>\n<\/div>\n That\u2019s huge. We all know the King\u2019s retirement is due to shoot up tissue paper stocks around the world. All this does is show his importance to the 15-man team.<\/p>\n ADVERTISEMENT<\/p>\n Article continues below this ad<\/p>\n<\/div>\n .@ShamsCharania<\/a> says LeBron James is expected to play \u201cat least another NBA season\u201d.<\/p>\n \u201c[Bryce James] is gonna be potentially draft eligible in 2026 \u2026 [LeBron\u2019s] got a 54-million dollar player option \u2026 He probably opts into that.\u201d ???? pic.twitter.com\/IrdvaCaRms<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 NBA on ESPN (@ESPNNBA) May 1, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n\n
