LeBron James had some cryptic quotes after the Lakers' Western Conference Finals loss to the Nuggets, and he reportedly is considering stepping away from basketball
In his 20th NBA season, James averaged 29.9 points, 8.3 rebounds and 6.8 assists in 35.5 minutes over 55 games. In 16 playoff games,, including a six-game second-round series win over Steph Curry and the Warriors, he averaged 24.5 points.
James still has two years left on his contract, including a player option for the 2024-25 season. Next season, he's scheduled to earn just under $47 million. His option for in 2024 is worth just over $50 million. If James were to walk away, it would bring to an end one of the greatest careers in NBA history. The No. 1 overall pick in the 2003 draft, he has lived up to the enormous hype and has etched his place among the greatest players to ever lace them up. Earlier this season, he passed Kareem Abdul-Jabbar for the most regular-season points in NBA history.
But it's also very possible that the emotions of a bitter NBA playoff exit caused James to hint at retirement. He's still playing at a superstar level and he wants to play with his son during the 2024-25 season, so it seems hard to believe that he would call it quits now. Time will tell if James actually will walk away or if he will be back playing for the Lakers next season.
