Let’s be honest, it wasn’t a huge surprise that the Lakers were swept 0-4 by the Thunder. But LeBron James’ postgame comment—”I don’t know if I’ll play next season”—still hit hard. This season, he played 60 regular-season games, averaging 20.9 points and 7.2 assists. In the playoffs, he averaged 38.3 minutes per game, putting up 23.2 points and 7.3 assists. At 41 years old, maintaining that level is incredibly rare. Honestly, he still has plenty left in the tank. If he walks away with this regret, it would feel a bit wasteful. Even without chasing another championship, playing another two years to properly say goodbye to the game would be a satisfying conclusion for those who have followed his career.
