Although most believe he will not actually follow through with it, LeBron James suggested a week ago that he’s considering retirement this offseason.
Apparently, the weight of carrying a sub-.500 Los Angeles Lakers team into the playoffs and all the way to the Western Conference finals despite tearing a tendon in his foot has been weighing on him.
Is James really going to consider retirement? Or is this his usual passive-aggressive behavior that is intended to pressure his team into making a big move for someone such as Kyrie Irving?
The 38-year-old once again made a cryptic statement, this time on Instagram, that some claim is another suggestion that he may be about to call it quits.

The caption on this post has a lyric from “What More Can I Say,” a Jay-Z hit from 2003. Shortly after the single dropped, the hip hop artist retired, only to return to the studio not too long afterward.
