After the Los Angeles Lakers' fall in the NBA play-offs against the Minnesota Timberwolves, LeBron James made a strong statement about his professional future and a possible retirement. The still-active legend of the American league stated that he will take some time to evaluate the next steps.
With Rudy Gobert as the leader, the Timberwolves won 103-96 and closed the series with a convincing 4-1, leaving the Los Angeles team without options. This outcome, along with the feeling of having been outplayed throughout the entire series, left LeBron James full of questions about his continuity in the NBA.
"I don't know how much longer I want to keep playing," he stated. He also gave a brief explanation of his situation: "It's something I have to sit down with my family, my wife, my support group, talk it over with them and see what happens. It's also a conversation with myself about how much longer I want to keep playing... We'll see".
Recently, the King became the all-time leading scorer in NBA history. Additionally, this elimination ended his twenty-second season in the league, another unbelievable milestone that will be difficult to surpass.
