LeBron James has spoken about his future with the Lakers and the NBA in general and according to the legend, he is uncertain of what the future holds.
James made this known while speaking to reporters before Sunday’s game.
James added that, prior to his eventual retirement, he’s undecided on if he’ll take a last dance approach, announcing it prior to the season like Hall of Fame peers Kobe Bryant or Dwyane Wade, or whether he’ll “Tim Duncan it” and walk away quietly after the season..
“I am a Laker. I’ve been happy being a Laker the last six years, and hope it stays that way,” said James when asked of what team he’ll be playing for, later adding, “I don’t have any answers on how long it is, or what uniform, but I hope it’s with the Lakers.”
James, in his 21st NBA season, is averaging 24.8 points, 7.8 assists and 7.2 rebounds per contest while shooting 52 percent from the field, 39.5 percent from 3-point range and 74.1 percent on free throws.
LeBron James has paid his dues in the NBA and now, whatever he decides to do with his career wouldn’t be a surprise to his fans and well-wishers. Taking a bow is necessary!
