The Los Angeles Lakers are set to retain LeBron James for the 2025-26 season as he embarks on his 23rd NBA year. Surprisingly, instead of slowing down, James continues to impress, averaging 24.4 points, 7.8 rebounds, and 8.2 assists last season. With the addition of Luka Doncic, his decision-making could further enhance. Reports suggest retirement may be imminent, as Savannah James has hinted that she wants him to retire soon, with dinner conversations indicating that this could happen within a year. Next season, LeBron could surpass Vince Carter for the most seasons played, and if he logs 50 games, he will also become the all-time leader in regular-season appearances, edging past Robert Parish. Having already played alongside his eldest son Bronny, James' focus may shift from championships to enjoying family life as he approaches the end of his illustrious career.
