LeBron Basically Admits He's Waiting To Retire So He Can Play With His Son In the NBA

LeBron James just agreed to a two-year, $85 million maximum contract with the Lakers last week that runs through 2023. That coincides with when his son, Bronny, graduates high school and could opt to enter the NBA Draft. It's been long speculated that James will wait until he can play with Bronny to retire. He finally talked about that on Tuesday...

“The best thing about it is the year I’ll be a free agent will be the same year my oldest son graduates high school,” James told reporters on Monday, via ESPN’s Dave McMenamin. “So I’ll have some options to see, for me personally, what I want to do forward, being around my family, being around my son more or continue to play this game I love with great health and great spirits. We’ll see.”

LeBron would turn 39 during that 2023-24 season.
