That does not mean that he will retire soon, since this Sunday it was confirmed that LeBron will play next season in the Lakers, exercising his player option for 52.6 million dollars. This will be the Eighth LeBron season in some Lakers with those who won the ring in the 'bubble' of 2020. Even so, it is not confirmed that the next will continue.
'King' already fulfilled one of his dreams: play with his son Bronny. And as the years have passed, the importance of their family has gone to more in the sports field. Now, LeBron's career and decisions go in that direction: towards a narrative in which his family connections take greater relevance and lead their ambitions.
Now, as Knecht said, he has another motivation: “He told me that he could play another five or ten years, so Bron and I could continue with the team another five or ten years. Why not? “He confirmed. The main reason why he is several more years in the league is for his little son, with whom he wishes to share costumes, in the same way he did with the oldest.
The next draft … decisive
Bryce James will be eligible in the draft in 2026 And he currently plays for the Arizona Wildcats, with the aim of following the footsteps of his brother. Even so, they are two very different profiles, since Bryce brushes two meters high and is considered by his father as “the best family shooter.” Of course, you still have to develop your physique.
James little will have the opportunity to disembark in the NBA next year and share track with his fatheralthough in that case it would not be entirely clear that it was in the Lakers. LeBron is still hungry and if he sees that the Lakers cannot win a short -term ring … maybe he wants a last dance with a winning horse.
