Lakers’ LeBron James offers more details on his retirement plans

The Los Angeles Lakers lost another game on Friday night, this time against the Atlanta Hawks. Los Angeles lost the game in overtime to start the new season.

After a strong start, the Lakers now hold an annual record of 12-11. The last few games have been tough as Los Angeles has been sent off multiple times.

James commented on the timing of his retirement plans. The star has done this a few times this season, making the idea even more of a reality.

“Just go out there and play the game the right way, compete at a high level and leave everything on the floor every time I go out there. My time, how long I’ll play, is very limited, so I’m just happy to still be able to play the game that I love.

James is in the 22nd year of his NBA career and has put together one of the most impressive runs in sports history. The longevity he’s had is unlike anything we’ve ever seen before and he’s still going strong.

The longtime star has experienced a bit of a slump this year, leaving many wondering if he still has what it takes. But James prevailed and managed just a triple-double with 39 points despite the Lakers’ loss to the Hawks.

James scored 39 points, 10 rebounds, 11 assists, 2.0 steals and 3.0 blocks in the game against Atlanta. It was a strong performance for him, but it just wasn’t enough for Los Angeles to get the win.

For the year, James averaged 23.0 points, 8.0 rebounds and 9.1 assists per game. He also shoots 35.9 percent from beyond the 3-point line.

The King has kept his game strong despite his advanced age. James turns 40 this December, but he has shown no signs of slowing down.

Although James is not the same player he was a few years ago, his ability to dominate on the court is still very effective. The Lakers rely heavily on him and he continues to provide star-level performance on the court.

James is no longer capable of leading a team, but can take over a game at any time. Although all allegations against him receded, James proved that he can still perform at a high level.
