The Los Angeles Lakers chiefs have responded to worrying claims that LeBron James may retire from basketball.
The 38-year-old dropped 40 points and played the entire 48 minutes in an elimination game, but ultimately his side was beaten 113-111 by the Denver Nuggets and lost the Western Conference Finals 4-0. After a demoralising defeat, the four-time champion is thinking about stepping away from the game after 20 seasons of playing at the highest level in the NBA.
“I got a lot to think about,” he admitted. “Just personally, with me moving forward with the game of basketball, I got a lot to think about.”
