With yet another incredible effort, LeBron James led the Los Angeles Lakers to an exciting comeback victory over the Memphis Grizzlies, 128-123. A record-breaking accomplishment for a player of his age, the 39-year-old legend recorded his third consecutive triple-double with 35 points, 14 rebounds, and 12 assists.
James is already in his 21st NBA season, but he is still exceeding expectations, leading many to wonder if he intends to continue his legendary career. He was questioned after the game about how long he expects to continue playing at this level. Even though James has stated that he doesn’t intend to stay in the league after his prime, his present impact indicates that he is still a long way from doing so.
Considered by many to be among the best players of all time, he is dedicated to continuing to produce performances that honor his heritage. James observed: “I don’t know,”. “I’m not going to play that much longer, to be completely honest. I don’t know how many years that is, whether it’s one year or two years.” “I’m not playing until the wheels fall off. I’m not going to be the guy that’s disrespecting the game because I just want to be out on the floor.”
LeBron James, after becoming the oldest player in NBA history to record back-to-back triple-doubles by hanging 19 points, 16 assists and 10 rebounds a month shy of his 40th birthday spoke about how much he has left: “I won’t do it until the wheels fall off, I’ll tell you that.” pic.twitter.com/ph6NUKIOoN

This season, LeBron James is standing out once more
James has contributed significantly to the Lakers‘ success this season, averaging 24.3 points, 9.4 assists, and 8.1 rebounds in 11 games. His impressive shooting splits demonstrate his effectiveness.
With 71 games left in the regular season, the Lakers will need to control his minutes if they want to contend for a deep postseason.
As James concentrates on leading the Lakers, retirement discussions have temporarily taken a backseat. The San Antonio Spurs will be his next opponent on Friday.
