In a recent interview with ESPN's Dave McMenamin, Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James expressed uncertainty about signing another NBA deal after his current contract expires. With his new two-year contract worth $101.4 million, keeping him under contract through 2026, James hinted that it could potentially be his last.

While discussing the possibility of this contract being his final one, James stated, "I mean, it could be [the last contract I will ever sign]. I'd never sit up here and say, 'Oh, maybe not.' Yeah, it could be. Easily. But we'll see what happens."

The 39-year-old basketball star, known for his legendary career, will have the opportunity to surpass Vince Carter's record for the most seasons played in an NBA career if he completes his current deal. If he remains with the Lakers until the end of his contract, he will have played a remarkable 23 seasons.

Throughout his illustrious career, James has consistently set and broken records. He already holds the title of the NBA's all-time leading scorer and has been awarded four MVP titles. With championship victories achieved with three different organizations, James has proven his dominance on the court.

During the 2023-24 season, LeBron James added another milestone to his long list of achievements by earning his 20th All-Star appearance, setting a new NBA record. Demonstrating his versatility, James showcased his shooting capabilities by averaging 25.7 points and 8.3 assists per game on impressive shooting splits of 54.0% from the field, 41.0% from beyond the arc, and 75.0% from the free-throw line. This marks only the second time in his career that he has connected on at least 40% of his three-point attempts.

As fans speculate about James' potential retirement and the future of his NBA career, it remains uncertain what path the basketball superstar will choose once his current contract concludes. However, one thing is for certain: LeBron James has solidified his status as one of the greatest players in NBA history.
