LeBron James, a 21-year All-Star Game veteran, acknowledged that his time in the event might be nearing its end, saying, “It’s coming to an end soon.” The Lakers star, who debuted in 2005 and won MVP honors in 2006, 2008, and 2018, has never missed an All-Star selection since entering the league.
LeBron James, now 40, will join Shaq’s OGS alongside stars like Stephen Curry and Kevin Durant under the new All-Star Weekend format. However, the NBA legend admitted that his chances of returning are dwindling, saying, “It’s coming to an end soon.”
Is the end near for LeBron?
Speaking to ESPN’s Dave McMenamin, James was the first to admit that he doesn’t have much time left to enjoy the All-Star Game as a player. “There ain’t going to be many times left. So you take it all and you don’t take it for granted. It’s coming to an end soon.”
LeBron James has addressed retirement rumors, acknowledging he can play for several more years but doesn’t plan to. The Lakers star said he’ll step away when he no longer has the desire to put in the work required to compete at the highest level.
LeBron James has expressed his desire to retire as a Laker but signed only a two-year, $101.4 million extension in 2024, making him a free agent after next season. While speculation about his retirement continues, fans are excited to watch him in yet another NBA All-Star Game this Sunday.
