LeBron James Addresses NBA Future, Teases Possibility of Farewell Tour

As LeBron James prepares to make his record-breaking 20th appearance in the NBA All-Star Game, it appears as though the Los Angeles Lakers star has retirement on his mind.

In a press conference before the All-Star Game, James admitted that he hopes to end his career with the Lakers. He didn’t give a specific timeline on when he might hang up his shoes, but he did briefly address his NBA future.

“I have not mapped out how many seasons I have left. I know it’s not that many,” James said on Sunday. “I am a Laker, and I’ve been very happy being a Laker the last six years, and hopefully it stays that way. I don’t have the answer to how long it will be or what uniform I’ll be wearing. Hopefully, it’s with the Lakers. It’s a great organization with so many greats. We’ll see. I don’t know how it’s going to end, but it’s coming.”
