The star of the lakers will thus become sixth player in NBA history to play 21 seasonsa list that appears next to Kevin Garnett, Dirk Nowitzki, Robert Parish, Kevin Willis and Vince Carter (the latter has the absolute record with 22 courses in the elite).
LeBron, who will turn 39 in December, assured in May after losing in the West final with the Lakers against the Denver Nuggets that he had “a lot to think about” regarding his future.
These statements at a press conference caused a stir on social media. Since then, there has been no more news about a possible withdrawal and the Lakers have operated in the offices with the idea that LeBron would return at least one more year with those in purple and gold.
