Former NBA star Nate Robinson weighs in on LeBron James retirement rumours

Former NBA player Nate Robinson shared his thoughts on the retirement rumours regarding LeBron James.

Following the LA Lakers being swept by the Denver Nuggets in the Western Conference Finals last month, the four-time champion admitted he is thinking about his future in the sport. At the age of 38 and in his 20th season, the athlete scored 40 points in game four against the Nuggets and played every minute of the contest, despite playing through the playoffs on an injured foot.

Since then the basketball world has been speculating on whether we have seen the last of the sporting icon as a player. But during a chat with Sporting Post, Robinson, a former point guard who spent 13 years in the NBA, does not think the 19-time All-Star will quit the game this season. “No, he does a good job of taking care of his body and he’s going to come back ready to play next year,” the three-time Slam Dunk contest champion said.
