Could LeBron retire next year?

[warriorfan]

No joke we have seen what his heart is made of and he just keeps getting shit on over and over. I don't know if he has what it takes to keep going at this point. It might be better for him to just pack it in and not tarnish what is left of his legacy. If he keeps shitting the bed, all these failed collisions are going to overshadow pre decision LeBron where he could actually ball.

[Quickening]

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.

[tmacattack33]

Judging by how made he makes you, he still must be playing pretty well.

And indeed, he is still the second best player in the league at age 31. When many thought he would decline faster than Wade.

He also has the size to switch full time to PF once he really does slow down.

So, i'm sorry OP, but Lebron is gonna keep playing and playing well for a while.

[outbreak]

All bron needs is a solid free agency and he will be right back on top competing. Just think what he would be like with kyrie kawhi davis curry next to him.

[Dr Hawk]

He would do well as a bench warmer in GSW

[FreezingTsmoove]

i think its pretty obvious at this point hes going back to Miami

You think LebRon is done colluding? :lol

I don't think his colluding skills are THAT good

Go back to Miami to collude with 35 years old Wade and 0pt in game 7 Bosh?

He would be perfect coming off the bench to lead a 2nd unit, Bran ball works decently against scrubs.

He'd also have a really high VORP, so it works out well for everyone

[Dr Hawk]

VORP king :bowdown:

:lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol

Brans impact CANNOT BE dened.

[Gileraracer]

Bran will collude another 2 or 3 times in his desperate try to get some more rings and will then retire 1.5*/10

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.

2 for 6 is goat?


nba basketball is in trouble

[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.

[aj1987]

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

The idiots on this board.... :facepalm

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

[dannywpt]

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.

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.

[G0ATbe]

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:bowdown:

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

[warriorfan]

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

[SouBeachTalents]
