Few people in the basketball world know that LeBron James is in better shape than Klutch Sports Group CEO and founder Rich Paul, but he's not the only one who knows how well LeBron James is doing with Frank Isola and Brian on SiriusXM. -During Monday's discussion with Scalabrine, he opened up about King.
Most notably, Paul, who is not only James' agent but also a longtime friend, said he believes the Los Angeles Lakers star has “a couple more years” left in his career. .
James is 39 years old and in his 21st season playing in the playoffs.
No one will confuse this version of the future Hall of Famer with the player who won two championships mid-career with the Miami Heat, but he's still one of the best players in the league at this age.
In the 2023-24 season, he averaged 25.7 points, 8.3 assists, 7.3 rebounds, and 1.3 steals per game, shooting 54% from the field and 41% from deep. It was the best 3-point shot of his career and highlighted how his game has adapted as he has gotten older.
James spoke about his future last month, telling reporters, “I'm not going to play for another 21 years, that's for sure. But it's not that long. I don't know when that door is going to close, when it's going to close.” . He's retiring, but he doesn't have much time left. ”
His future will be a big focus this offseason, considering he has a player option for the 2024-25 season and could potentially become a free agent. He may aim to remain in the NBA and perhaps someday play alongside his son Bronny.
But it's clear that NBA fans should enjoy James while they can, at least with his retirement looming.
