LOS ANGELES — After a vintage, 40-point performance Monday in which he played all but 4.3 seconds of the Lakers' season-ending loss to Denver, it turned out that LeBron James had one more sizzling shot left to unleash.
Asked to evaluate his season and look to the future after the Nuggets had completed a sweep of the Western Conference final with a 113-111 victory at Crypto.com Arena, the NBA's all-time leading scorer said he wasn't ready to think that far ahead. The season had been challenging for him and for the team, but he called it "a pretty cool ride." Then, he turned cryptic.
"We'll see what happens going forward. I don't know. I don't know. I've got a lot to think about to be honest," he said at a postgame news conference. "Just for me personally going forward with the game of basketball, I've got a lot to think about."
