LeBron James Speaks On ‘Hopefully’ Ending His Career Playing For The Lakers & Hints At Retirement

If LeBron James has things his way, he will definitely be ending his stellar basketball career in Los Angeles.

The 4x NBA champion opened up about his ideal plan for his remaining days in the league, telling reporters in an interview on Dec. 27:

“I would love for it to end here. That would be the plan.”

He continued:

“I came here to finish the last stage of my career and to finish it off here. … Hopefully, I don’t have to go nowhere before my career is over.”

LeBron also mentioned that while he understands the business side of basketball, he won’t follow in the footsteps of quarterbacks like Tom Brady and Brett Favre, retiring and un-retiring. He added:

“I don’t have any answers on how long it is or what uniform…but I hope it’s with the Lakers.”

As far as how long he’ll actually be playing, LeBron admitted that while he could play for several more years, he doesn’t think he will. He stated:

“To be honest, if I really wanted to, I probably could play this game at a high level … another five to seven years if I wanted to…But I’m not gonna do that.”
