Lebron James is and always will be in the conversation for the greatest basketball player of all time. Whether you agree with this or not, there is no doubt it has been an amazing career for him and for us as fans to watch. With that being said, Father Time is undefeated, and the King's career is winding down. James addressed his future prior to the All-Star game this weekend.
«I am a Laker and I'm happy and been very happy being a Laker the last six years and hopefully it stays that way,» James said. «But I don't have the answer to how long it is or which uniform I'll be in. Hopefully it is with the Lakers. It's a great organization, so many greats. But we'll see.»
Lebron holds a $51.4M player option for next year, but he has not given any indication of his plans for next year. It has long been known that James wants to play with his son before his career is over. Bronny James is currently a freshman at USC and could be in the NBA with his father as soon as next season. While he's not sure how many more years he wants to play, he does know he wants his son involved. He also has not made clear whether he wants to announce it and go on a farewell tour or be more like Tim Duncan and retire quietly. History would indicate the former rather than the latter.
«I was asked this question a couple days ago,» James said. «‘Will you kind of take the farewell tour, or will you kind of just Tim Duncan it? I'm 50-50, I'm going to be honest, because there's times when I feel like I guess I owe it to my fans that have been along this journey with me for two decades plus, to be able to give them that moment where it's every city and whatever the case may be and they give you your flowers or whatever the case may be. That seems cool. But the other side of that, I've never been that great with accepting like praise. It's a weird feeling for me.»
The show will be coming to an end, whether you love him or hate him, you have to admit he has been one of the most entertaining basketball players over the last two decades. The NBA will not quite be the same when James is not in it.
