LeBron James may not be retiring anytime soon, but it also could not be too far off. We can only be certain that it’s a genuine concern of his.

James said, “I got a family,” to ESPN. “My daughter is nine years old. My kid is in college and is debating whether to pursue a career in academia or the entertainment industry. My son is going to graduate from high school next year. They’ve never put any strain on me and have let me make up for all the lost family time.

Thаt’s аlsо reаlly significаnt. Whаt else [remаins]? I’ve exhаusted every оptiоn. Nоthing in this leаgue thаt I hаven’t wаnted tо dо hаs escаped my аttentiоn. Therefоre, yоu hаve tо [hаng it up] аt sоme time.

During his post-game press conference, James reaffirmed his desire to spend more time with his family following the Lakers’ elimination from the playoffs on Monday.

The Lakers are reportedly now “very open” to drafting Bronny James this June, so before he retires, he might get a little additional family time at work, according to The Athletic.

According to the source, the team is willing to do whatever it takes to keep James in Los Angeles, even if it means giving him the longest possible extension three years and $164 million to stay with them.

After the game, someone asked James if he had thought about quitting the Lakers. He paused before responding, saying, “I’m not going to answer that.”
