LeBron James still in the NBA for a while? Guest of the Pat McAfee Show, insider Shams Charania opened the hypothesis according to which the King would still play “at least two seasons” in the NBA or perhaps three depending on his desires.
Will LeBron James further push the limits of his – already gigantic – career? According to information fromESPN and Shams Charania, the response is rather positive since the most informed insider on the circuit (good retirement Woj) explained that the King would probably play two additional seasons in the NBA and perhaps even a third.
“LeBron James is gonna play at least two more years and he could potentially go three..
I don’t think anybody would be surprised if he played beyond next season” ~ @ShamsCharania #PMSLive https://t.co/wLYgf8kyam pic.twitter.com/1C0SvlMTI6

Olympic medalist this summer with Team USA and still among the best players in the world, LeBron James shows no signs of slowing down despite the passing springs. Last year he still averaged almost 26 points, 8 assists and 7 rebounds. Unless there is a surprise, he should still panic the counters this season in the jersey of the Los Angeles Lakers.
If James pushes the pleasure for three more years, he would then be 43 years old when he hangs up his phone. This would give him 24 seasons played in the NBA, another record to add to his long personal collection (with others who will probably fall). Already a teammate of his son Bronny with the Lakers this season, the King could thus share the fields with his other son, Bryce, potentially expected in the 2026 Draft. After that, he will be able to quietly devote himself to his post-career, where he will be already predicts an ownership role in an NBA franchise, and potentially one that would be created on the Vegas side.
LeBron would therefore see himself playing “2 to 3 more years” in the NBA.
Several reasons for this:
🔸 Break all possible records
🔸 The guy is still too strong
And my favorite:
🔸 NBA expansion projected in 2027-28, with a franchise in Las Vegas of which he will be minority owner.…
