The Los Angeles Lakers are gearing up for a new NBA season after a disappointing first-round exit last year. With minimal roster changes, the team is relying on new head coach JJ Redick to get the most out of the current lineup.
This season is particularly significant for LeBron James, who is entering his 22nd year in the league.
As he approaches 40, James continues to demonstrate his ability to perform at a high level, making him a key player for the Lakers.
While James has hinted at retirement in the past, he recently signed a two-year extension with the Lakers, indicating he plans to continue playing for at least that duration. However, the reality of his eventual retirement is becoming more apparent.


Although it’s unlikely he would announce his retirement through a video game, it serves as a reminder that his playing days are numbered.
James recently earned MVP honors at the Olympics, showcasing he still has plenty left in the tank.
The Lakers are counting on him to deliver another strong season alongside co-star Anthony Davis. Both players have faced injury challenges in recent years but managed to stay relatively healthy last season.
If they can maintain their health, the Lakers will have a solid chance to compete for their 18th championship title.
LeBron James is in the twilight of his career and a feature like this only reinforces that LeBron will hang it up someday soon.
