After sending the sports world into a panic by mentioning a possible retirement, LeBron James has posted a cryptic Instagram post.
After a horrific start to the 2022 season the Los Angeles Lakers clawed their way back to contention after trading Russell Westbrook. Westbrook was sent to the Clippers, the favorites to win the West, and the Lakers actually ended up in the Western Conference Finals facing the Nuggets. The Nuggets made easy work of the Lakers and swept them in four games and the focus of the aftermath was Lebron James hinting at retirement.
The King has been vocal about wanting to play with his son Bronny James before exiting the league but after hinting at hanging up his jersey, James softened his stance.
On Sunday, the elite athlete fueled retirement rumors by quoting Jay Z on his InstaStory.
“I’m supposed to be #1 on everybody’s list. We’ll see what happens when I no longer exist.”- James wrote.
The likelihood of a player like LeBron retiring without a farewell tour is slim to none but some suspect that he could take the year off and return in the 2024 season alongside Bronny.
