Los Angeles Lakers: Shams Drops Truth Bomb on LeBron James’ Imminent Retirement Plan

Shams made an appearance on a recent episode of The Pat McAfee Show, wherein LeBron’s retirement plan was one of the topics of conversation. It was at that point that Charania dropped a bombshell about James potentially walking away in 2026:

“I think the expectation around the league is up to about two years (before LeBron retires),” Shams said. “Could LeBron James say, ‘I want to play three years’? It’s not out of the realm of possibility. At the end of the day, it’s up to LeBron James. “

Shams did hint at LeBron adding another year, but what is clear is that James is going to be out of the NBA in the not-so-distant future.

Family First

Charania also added that another strong consideration from James is how his family feels about all this. LeBron reportedly knows “knows how much people around him have sacrificed” and it appears that the time for him to put his family ahead of his basketball career is imminent.

Whatever the case might be, we all better enjoy King James’ greatness while we still can.
