How long will LeBron James play in the NBA?

NBA fans have started counting LeBron James' remaining time in the NBA. The veteran superstar is in the last year of his contract with the Lakers, as the team has also seemingly turned to Luka Doncic as the face of the team.

James will turn 41 in December. While he is still one of the best in the league, there are very few teams (perhaps not great teams) ready to pay him big money at his age.

Last season, the Lakers' star said that he doesn't have much time left in his career. This was the first time that LeBron also exercised his player option contract with a team.

Given how the Lakers have come off towards James since Doncic, it looks unlikely he would continue playing for the team beyond this season. According to Lakers insider Anthony Irwin, LBJ wants to retire as a Laker, and if that's true, next season might be the last time we see him in an NBA jersey.
