Will LeBron James retire with the Los Angeles Lakers?

The last official statement by LeBron James about retirement came after Game 4 of the Western Conference finals against the Denver Nuggets. It was a shocking message which left a lot of doubts.

ā€œWe’ll see what happens going forward. I don’t know. I have a lot to think about to be honest. Just for me personally going forward in the game of basketball. I have a lot to think about.ā€

From that moment on, the NBA star has been very active on social media going to special events such as the 24 Hours of Le Mans. However, he hasn’t said a word about his future.

In fact, at least for the moment, all his attention is in the college career of his son. Just a few days ago, LeBron couldn’t hide his excitement on Instagram when Bronny James announced the number he’ll wear at USC. ā€œLet’s go 6!!!!!!! I love it Bronny!!!ā€

One thing to remember is that LeBron James has been very outspoken about his desire to play alongside Bronny in the NBA though he won’t push it. ā€œJust because that’s my aspiration and my goal (to play with him), it doesn’t mean it’s his. My job is to support my son whatever he wants to do.ā€
