Nearly 21 years ago, a 19-year-old LeBron James entered the NBA, burdened with immense expectations. Fast forward to today, few could have predicted that at 39, in his 21st season, he would deliver one of his most thrilling performances.
On Sunday night at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York City, James led the Los Angeles Lakers to victory against the Brooklyn Nets with a staggering 40-point game. Demonstrating his enduring prowess, he sank nine out of ten attempts from beyond the arc, missing only once from downtown.
Despite defying age and continuing to dominate on the court, James addressed the inevitable questions about his future in the league after the game. When asked how long he plans to continue playing, he candidly replied, “Not very long. I’m on the other side, obviously, of the hill. I’m not gonna play another 21 years. But not very long. I don’t know when that door will close as far as when I’ll retire. But I don’t have much time left.”
James’ acknowledgment of his limited time left in professional basketball adds a poignant layer to his exceptional performance. Fans around the world continue to marvel at his talent and dedication, even as he hints at the nearing end of his illustrious career.
