He left open the possibility of LeBron retiring: “I have a lot to think about how to continue”

The Lakers they finished the season in ingloriously, as they were “swept” by the Nuggets in the West finals. LeBron James in his statements after the exclusion hinted that he is considering the possibility of retiring after a 20-year career in the NBA.

“I haven’t thought about next season. I do not know. I don’t know what the roster will be like next year. I love playing and being on the floor for my teammates. We reached the district finals and it is important for us that we did it with a new coach. It was a nice ride. I won’t say it was successful, because at this stage of my career I don’t play for anything other than winning titles. It’s not enough for me to appear in the district finals, because I’ve done that, many times (laughs). We will see what will happen. I have a lot to think about, to be honest, about how I’m going to continue with basketball“, emphasized the 38-year-old superstar who has a contract for the 2023/24 season and an option for 2024/25.

About the exclusion of the Lakers he said:Obviously we are disappointed. We were in contention for victory in all the games, but we couldn’t get the victories in the end. We were missing something at the end. We had a good run but we fell short of our target and this team’s target is titles».

Hats off to the Nuggets and Nikola Jokic though. “The Nuggets have been one of the best, if not the best, team we have faced in our years together on the Lakers with Anthony Davis. They are very well structured, they work very well, they have shooting, creation, size and a guy like Jokic who is very difficult to stop. You just take your hat off to him. There aren’t many players like him in the NBA, many see his numbers but overlook his mind. But not me“, write down.
