While James saw an early end to his NBA season as the Lakers were bounced in the first round of the playoffs by the Minnesota Timberwolves, the star player does have a big basketball move coming later this summer. He needs to make a decision on a player option in his contract for the 2025-2026 season that would pay him more than $52.6 million.

James was asked point-blank during the panel how much longer he would keep playing. While the Lakers’ superstar didn’t give any definitive answer on his future, James did confirm that retirement is on his mind. “I can’t play that much further,” James shared with the panel.

Victor Wembanyama has the NBA world excited for what he might become. So it's no surprise LeBron James hilariously named him as a potential reason to retire.
