LeBron James has far exceeded the expectations that were made of him upon entering the league for the first time. Playing for over 20 years now, his longevity and dominance speak for themselves. Becoming the leading point scorer of all time further cemented his place in NBA history books and could create more in the years to come.
While many expect him to return for his 21st season in the league, there is skepticism surrounding his return. This comes especially after this year’s playoff loss to the Denver Nuggets. Nevertheless, after reaching the finals, the Los Angeles Lakers owe LeBron appreciation for his dedication.

After being swept by the eventual champions in this year’s WCF, many expected LeBron to retire from the league. While there is no confirmation yet, there’s a lot of uncertainty within the Lakers.
Despite feeling a strong run, their renewed optimism came crashing down soon. Uncertainty surrounding their players like Austin Reaves and Rui Hachimura gives the board a lot to think about.
With all this work and strategizing during the off-season, there is little optimism the team can start their new season with the same core.
General Manager Rob Pelinka echoes the message as he reiterates, “We know that there?s more growth and improvement in that group, especially if we get a training camp together. So, I would say that?s a high priority to keep our core players together.?
With the off-season proving to be a difficult time for the Lakers, they will turn their heads toward LeBron and his decision on his future.
