James responds to retirement! Fans say the league needs James to play for another 10 years

Will James be the last season of his career next season? Some time ago, many media and basketball commentators said that James is time to retire. James is now 40 years old and is about to turn 41 next season. He has been confirmed to start his 23rd season, but there is no definite news whether it will be his last season.

Next season James has $52 million in player options and has a trade veto. There is news that he will choose to execute this player option, but it may also choose to jump out of the contract and sign a 1+1 contract with the Lakers. The specific choice lies with James himself.

Today, James posted a video on social media, which responded to retirement rumors. The video shows the interview scene. A reporter asked at that time: "Is your retirement rumors true? What will you do next? Should you continue your basketball career? Or choose to retired tour as your last season? "

James was about to answer, and the video ended. Then James wrote in the video: "I often ask this question, but to be honest, I am also considering... very confused... what should I do? "

A fan left a message and wrote: "Don't retire, this league needs you to play for another 10 years. To be honest, it would be great if you can play for the rest of your life. It's okay to sit on the sidelines. The NBA needs you, World Basketball needs you, pay attention to your own safety. "

Good brother JR Smith also left a message saying: "Don't even think about it, there is no chance at all, go on, legend! "

Previously, media said that through the Lakers' internal personnel, James is likely to be in his last season, and 23 seasons correspond to No. 23, everything is perfect. But this news has not been confirmed. The reliable news should be that James will definitely continue next season, but I just don’t know how long it will take to play.

Judging from the video posted by James, he is also considering this issue, but probably he does not have a definite answer in his mind. Previously, it was reported that the NBA will expand its squad around 2027, and James really hopes to become the small boss of the new team, but there is a prerequisite for becoming a boss, that is, he cannot invest as a player. Therefore, it is very likely that James will choose to retire before the expansion of the army.

Of course, all this is a guess. We can only wait when James will retire. But to be honest, if James retires, the NBA will lose another highlight. How about the Lakers playing? How is James' condition? How many people criticize him and blacken him, but with him, I want to watch the Lakers' ball... The Lakers' traffic and popularity are also second to none. If the Lakers had lost James, they might have lost half of the fans or even more.

As the three top stars of Gandouku grow old, the NBA has obviously been promoting some young stars in recent years, such as Morant, Tatum, and now Alexander and Edwards, all of which are very easy to get whistles. Moreover, when playing against Janduku's team, they win more than they lose. The referees and the league want them to step on the shoulders of the older generation.

But the results have been average over the years. Three old guys competed on the same stage at the Olympics last year, which made people feel that those young stars are really too young. I feel the same thing: if these three people don’t retreat, the others really can’t get up...
