LeBron James isn't showing any signs of slowing down, despite talk of retirement swirling around him. At 39, he's still dominating the court, averaging an impressive 25.2 points, 8.1 assists, and 7.3 rebounds per game for the Lakers. His energy is key to the team's success, often dictating their wins.
On Easter Sunday, LeBron was in top form, sinking nine 3-pointers and scoring 40 points, leading the Lakers to a 116-104 victory over Brooklyn. When he plays like this, it's hard to imagine him hanging up his jersey anytime soon. However, LeBron acknowledges that he's closer to the end of his career than the beginning.
In a recent postgame interview, LeBron was candid about his future in the league, stating, "Not very long. I'm on the other side, obviously, of the hill." While he's not planning on playing another 21 years, he's focused on making the most of his remaining time. He's also putting pressure on the Lakers' front office to build a stronger team around him and Anthony Davis.
Despite LeBron and Davis both performing at an All-NBA level, the Lakers are currently ninth in the standings and will likely have to win two play-in games just to secure a playoff spot. It's clear that LeBron needs more support during the regular season, but come playoff time, his ability to elevate his game makes the Lakers a serious threat to any opponent.
