Where stars fade fast, LeBron James continues to shine brighter with age. At 40 years old, LeBron was just named to the All-NBA team for a record-extending 21st straight year. While much speculation surrounds his future, what’s not up for debate is the impact he’s still making on and off the court.
After averaging 24.4 points, 8.2 assists, and 7.8 rebounds per game this season, LeBron defied age once again. But this campaign was about more than stats because LeBron played alongside his son, Bronny James, marking the first father-son duo in NBA history to share the floor.
While fans wonder if this might be the King’s last dance, LeBron himself remains undecided.
“I don’t know. I don’t have an answer to that,” he said after the Lakers’ playoff exit. “It’s something I’ll talk over with my family. I need to think about how long I want to keep playing.”
His agent and longtime friend, Rich Paul, echoed the uncertainty in an interview on The Rich Eisen Show:
“I have no idea, zero. This is how it’s always been LeBron takes his time, reflects, and decides what’s next when he’s ready.”
Still, the NBA community largely expects a return. Not only is LeBron playing at an elite level, but the energy he found while sharing the court with Bronny, combined with the Lakers’ potential after the Luka Dončić trade, has reignited his competitive fire.
With the 2025 NBA All-Star Game set in Los Angeles, the stage is perfectly set for a farewell tour or perhaps, one last title push. The Lakers, sources say, are ready to give him anything he needs to stay.
And if he comes back for a 23rd season? We cant wait for him to rewrite history again.
