LeBron James makes most of his money from “off-the-court” activities. He’ll have a lot more time to focus on those activities now because he and his Lakers got swept out of the playoffs on Monday night.
And at the age of 38, he might just decide to stay off the court once and for all and retire.
James put up 40 points and snagged 10 rebounds in Game 4, but missed two potential game-tying shots in the closing minute as the Lakers faded and lost 113-111. following the game, James gave the strongest indicator he’s ever given that he is seriously contemplating retirement.
“We’ll see what happens going forward,” James said in his postgame news conference. “I don’t know. I don’t know. I’ve got a lot to think about, to be honest. Just for me personally going forward with the game of basketball, I’ve got a lot to think about.”
According to the Associated Press, “James is under contract for $46.9 million next season with the Lakers, but he is in charge of his future after surpassing Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s career scoring record earlier this year.
