LeBron James does not hide from the fact that his career is nearing its conclusion, but the Los Angeles Lakers star has yet to put an actual timeline on when he might retire. One prominent NBA reporter has at least somewhat of an idea.
During a Tuesday appearance on “The Pat McAfee Show,” Shams Charania of The Athletic shared how long he expects LeBron to continue playing. Charania said those close to James have made it seem like one or two more seasons is a likely timeframe.
“Most people I talk to around LeBron James, about LeBron James…one to two more years is definitely the expectation, that LeBron James is still going to play another year or two,” Charania said. “But, it’s obvious based on his comments that he’s at the end of the road. For players of LeBron James’ stature, it’s hard to come to grips with the reality of retirement.”
