Last week, LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers had their season come to an end when they lost Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals to the Denver Nuggets by a score of 113-111.

The Lakers did an excellent job finishing as one of the final four teams in the NBA Playoffs, but the Nuggets proved to be a significant challenge, and they were unable to win one game in the series.

Following the loss, James made headlines when he alluded to the possibility of retirement.

James after Game 4: "I don't like to say it was a successful year because I don't play for anything besides winning championships at this point in my career. I don't get a kick out of making a Conference appearance. I've done it a lot. It's not fun to me to not be able to be a part of getting to the Finals. But will see. Will see what happens going forward. But I don't know. I don't know. I got a lot to think about, to be honest. I got a lot to think about, to be honest. Just for me personally, going forward with the game of basketball got a lot to think about."

Recently, ESPN's Dave McMenamin reported that James will likely return for the 2023-24 season.

James has not publicly stated his definitive decision for next season, but he is coming off a year where he averaged 28.9 points, 8.3 rebounds and 6.8 assists per contest while shooting 50.0% from the field.

In addition, the 19-time All-Star put up 40 points, ten rebounds, nine assists and two steals while playing 48 minutes in Game 4.

Clearly, the 38-year-old is still among the best players in the league.
