LeBron James Made an Emotional Announcement About His NBA Career at ESPYs, and Fans Loved It
LeBron James isn’t going anywhere. At least not Yet.
The Lakers star, who openly pondered retirement after being swept by the Nuggets in the Western Conference finals in May, let the world know Wednesday night that he will be coming back for his 21st season.
James made the announcement at the 2023 ESPYs while giving his acceptance speech for winning the Best Record-Breaking Performance. The NBA’s all-time leading scorer got emotional about his career, saying:
"I don't care how many more points I score, or what I can or cannot do on the floor. The real question for me is: Can I play without cheating this game? The day I can't give everything on the floor is the day I'll be done. Lucky for you guys, that day is not today."
Here’s that moment:
