LeBron Reveals Where He Wants to Finish his NBA Career

LeBron James is on the back nine of his career, possibly even on the 17th hole, but he’s not done quite yet. Though he’s unsure about how much longer he will be able to play, James does know one thing. LeBron wants to finish his career with the Los Angeles Lakers.

“I truly hope that I can finish my career with the Lakers,” James said on the SmartLess podcast while promoting the new “Space Jam” movie. “And how many years that is, if it’s four, five, six, whatever, seven, I hope I can continue to play the game. I love being in L.A., my family loves being in L.A.

“Being with a historical franchise like the Lakers is something like, it’s like me being in ‘Space Jam’ now. I never thought it’d be possible.”

James signed a two-year, $85 million extension with the Lakers in December, which will keep him in Los Angeles through the 2022-23 season. Who knows how much longer he’ll be able to play. Basketball is a young man’s game, and unlike Tom Brady in Football where he just needs to stand and throw, basketball requires a lot more athleticism in order to be effective.

LeBron is already on the decline, but when he does fall off the cliff, it’s going to come fast and hard.
