LeBron James agent Rich Paul adds drama to NBA legends retirement date

LeBron James’ agent Rich Paul set the record straight regarding the narrative that LeBron only intends to play one more year before retiring during a July 3 episode of his “Game Over’ podcast with Max Kellerman.“Who said this is going to be [James’] last year?” Paul said to Kellerman on the podcast, per a video of the podcast that was clipped from Instagram account @swishcultures.He later added, “No one said this is going to be his last year.No one said that.

Also, once he got the green light from Savannah and Zhuri—cause they’re the only ones left in the house—once he got the green light, you can do whatever you want to do.”Hearing this might come as a surprise to many, given that LeBron is currently 41 years old, will be turning 42 in the middle of next season, and has made it clear that whichever NBA team he signs with in free agency this offseason will be the final team of his legendary career.Last week, LeBron informed the Los Angeles Lakers that he would not be returning to the franchise after spending the past eight seasons with them.

This has sparked a ton of interest in speculation about where the NBA’s arguable GOAT might end up.After this comment from Rich Paul, the question isn’t just where LeBron will land, but how long he’ll be playing there for before calling it a career.The prospect of him potentially playing several more seasons also means he could be interesting in more potential teams, particularly ones that aren’t all about winning immediately.

That being said, LeBron still wants to chase a championship, and whichever team he signs with will surely be a championship contender both next season and in the years to come.California Post News: Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, X, YouTube, WhatsApp, LinkedInCalifornia Post Sports Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, XCalifornia Post Opinion California Post Newsletters: Sign up here!California Post App: Download here!Home delivery: Sign up here!Page Six Hollywood: Sign up...
