Following the team’s sweep at the hands of the Nuggets in the Western Conference finals, Lakers star LeBron James was cryptic about his future, telling reporters that he had a lot to think about before deciding if he would play next season.
ESPN’s Dave McMenamin threw water on the retirement speculation the next day, as he reported that James would play for the Lakers next season and was not expected to retire.
For what it’s worth, James’s high school teammates don’t believe he’s done playing either. Dru Joyce III, Willie McGee, Sian Cotton and Romeo Travis, who all played at St. Vincent-St. Mary High School with James, spoke with Access Hollywood about their new film Shooting Stars which will premiere on Peacock and chronicle their top-ranked high school basketball team from the early 2000s.
