LeBron James announced on Sunday that he is changing teams for the third time in his incredible NBA career, and it sounds as though his intention is to make a Los Angeles Lakers jersey the last one he wears.
Robert Littal of Black Sports Online said Sunday that he was told by a source that LeBron is “in it for the long haul” in L.A. He also indicated that LeBron could retire sooner than expected if he wins a championship with the Lakers.
“LeBron is in it for the long haul. I’ve been told specifically that he wants to end his career in LA with a championship,” Littal said. “If he gets a championship in LA, expect him to retire after that championship.”
Some have noted that LeBron says his ultimate goal is to play in the NBA at the same time as his son, LeBron Jr., but that is at least five years away from being a possibility. Littal says LeBron obviously wouldn’t retire if the Lakers managed to win a title next season, but the idea of going out on top is appealing to him.
Robert Littal ✔@BSOI think if by chance and that would be crazy they won in year one, of course not, but to play with Bronny that would be 5 seasons. Not impossible, but the idea of going out a champion like Jordan (ignore Wizards years) is very appealing
JV@JoshVigilReplying to @BSOGood reporting @BSO. So hypothetically, if LeBron got a championship after year one, he retires? Isn’t his wish to play on the same team with his oldest son?
