LeBron James, who is currently 38 years old, may continue playing basketball well into his mid-40s, according to his agent, Rich Paul. Paul believes that James can play for as long as he wants, as long as he remains motivated and in good health. Paul made these comments during an interview with Sirius XM’s Frank Isola and Sarah Kustok, stating that James’ mindset and excitement for the game are crucial factors in determining his longevity.
Although Paul’s statement may be seen as biased, given his close relationship with James and the financial gains he would receive if James continues playing, it is not entirely unfounded. James has a remarkable track record of durability, having played in 1,421 games (ranking 10th all-time) and 54,093 minutes (ranking third) in the regular season. He also holds the NBA record for the most playoff games played, with 282 under his belt. Despite his age, James still performed at a high level last season, averaging 35.5 minutes per game and 28.9 points per night.
Previously, there were rumors that James might consider retiring after the Lakers’ elimination from the playoffs. However, he addressed these speculations at the ESPY awards, stating that he still has a lot to give to the game and that he wants to play without compromising his integrity. James expressed his desire to play alongside his son, Bronny, who will be attending USC next season and potentially become an NBA player by the 2024-25 season.
Although there are still two years remaining on James’ contract with the Lakers, there is a possibility that he could become a free agent after the next season. Only time will tell how long James will continue to dominate the basketball court and shape his legacy in the sport.
