LeBron James doesn’t have ‘very long’ left playing in NBA as he gives latest retirement insight
NY Post
LeBron James put up a career-high in 3-pointers on Sunday night against the Nets, and then revealed that he doesn’t “have much time left” in the NBA.
James is in his 21st season, and there’s been plenty of speculation about how much longer the superstar could have left in the league.
But the comments after a 116-104 Lakers win over the Nets could be a sign that the end is closer than people think.
“Not very long. I’m on the other side of the hill,” James responded when asked about his time left in the NBA. “I’m not going to play another 21 years. That’s for damn sure. Not very long. I don’t know when that door will close as far as when I retire, but I don’t have much time left.”
James turned 39 in December and still has a $54.1 million player option on his contract for the 2024-25 season.
The Lakers star posted his third 40-point game of the season with his effort at Barclays Center, and he had been averaging 25.2 points per game, along with 7.3 rebounds, 8.1 assists and 53 percent shooting from the field.

Dylan Garand knew the number off the top of his head. He knew that, between the regular season and playoffs, he’d logged over 160 games with AHL Hartford, and he was right. Before the Rangers recalled him Friday, Garand had served as the Wolf Pack’s goaltender 165 times.
SAN DIEGO — As you may have seen elsewhere in this newspaper (and also if you haven’t deleted me yet from your social media), I have a book coming out Tuesday called “The Bosses of The Bronx.” Much of it details the 37 years’ worth of antics, winning, losing, winning again and overall mania of George Steinbrenner’s time with the Yankees.

Cade Cunningham, almost inarguably the best player in the East this season, is likely out for the remainder of the regular season. That’s the word out of Detroit following the depressing news that Cunningham punctured a lung when he took a knee to his side Tuesday from Washington’s Tre Johnson while chasing a loose ball.
