THE Lebron James he turned 40 yesterday (12/30) but remains thriving. So much so that he feels capable of continuing to fight until 2030 or beyond, but he won’t. However, without specifying the end date of his career.
“A decade goes by, the 30’s and you wake up one day and you’re like, oh shit, you’re 40? It’s funny to think that I’m still here, that I’m playing at a high level, that I feel young but I’ve been in this area for so many years. To be honest, if I wanted to, I could play at a high level for another 5-7 years. But if I wanted to, why am I not going to do it. I got into the NBA when I was 18 and now here I am 22 years later with my 20 year old son in the league too, it’s cool“, he emphasized.
The “king” expressed the desire to end his career with the Lakers. “My plan is not to play for another team. I would love to finish my career here. I came here for the last chapter in his career, but I’m not stupid, I know how the business of basketball works. But my relationship with the Lakers organization is very good and I hope I won’t go anywhere else until my career is over.“, he said.
As for whether he thinks his team can win the championship this year? “I think we have a very good team and we can compete with everyone in this year’s championship. If you’re asking me if we can win the championship now, I don’t think so. But that’s because I think we have a lot of room for improvement“, said LeBron who is averaging 23.5 points, 9 assists and 7.9 rebounds having played in 28 of the 31 games of the season.
