Could LeBron retire next year?

[el gringos]

Zero chance. This isn't a Barry sanders situation. He has so much care about stats and his place in history. Plus so much control of the teams he's on.

There's a better chance he signs with the Knicks to play point guard then there is of him retiring

[sportjames23]

It's not a question of "could" Lebron retire next year, but one of "should" he retire next year.

After last night, I think we all know the answer to that.

[Cold soul]

Nah no chance I see Lebron playing until his late 30's he loves the game too much to walk away and still has some good years left.

Yep. Dude is still the 2nd best player in the league.

The idiots on this board....

Yeah trolls and idiots. Lebron at worst is 3rd best player today.

Yeah trolls and idiots. Lebron at worst is 3rd best player today.

I'd say he's fourth. I think Curry, Durant and Westbrook are all better.

[outbreak]

He's already proved he's GOAT. The greatest sports figure the world has ever seen. He could retire tomorrow and Obama would drop everything to give a speech and name a holiday after him.

EH I think he's tied in 3rd with a few guys who depending on the day may or may not be better than each other. Let's be realistic, even if bron's scoring drops off to kobe level next season he will still be a contributor wherever he plays.

That'd be the best option for him. He made it clear all he cares about is stats and winning rings* but he sure as hell ain't winning another championship. I'd like to see him stay though so I can witness him break the finals losses record

Kobe was irrelevant for the last 5 years of his career, hopefully lebron avoids that fate. Probably retire at about 36, has the basketball IQ, passing and finishing to stay effective.

He's leading all-star votes by a wide margin and has twice as much as bron.
He's as relevant as ever

LeBron is retiring next year

book it

[stalkerforlife]

I can see him retiring early to save his stats.

[PickernRoller]

If he has some dignity left. He has poisoned the game enough.

[inclinerator]

or he could come back and defend his title
