    I hope he does. He has nothing left to accomplish.

    ESPN is going to have a hour-long special on LeBron's Decision to take his talent to fishing.

    Its already another LeNarrative where he only wants to go have fun but really he's running again for the easier road as always. Cleveland is stacked right now and healthy LeBron with another year development for the others with playoff experience and a few more vets is easily in the Finals again- and the Wests best isn't necessarily unbeatable.
    He knows the east is becoming wide open again and Boston may dismantle with Jaylen demanding a trade a looming possibility. Giannis leaving that fans plea for him to go to GS wide open and Kris maybe not back to form for next year as well as Brook maybe gone and aging role players on them and Miami. Harden back west leaving embiid alone.

    LeBron is very strategic in his LeNarratives.

    If he 'retires,' I'm pretty sure there's something in his contract (any NBA contract in general) that probably prevents him from playing for another team until his contract's terms are fulfilled.

    Otherwise, you'd see more players "retire" to get out of their contracts instead of trying to force their way out via trade.

    Lebron's not retiring, he's an attention seeker and wants that Kobe/Wade farewell tour.

    I'd like to see LeBron ride out his twilight years playing in China or Taiwan . . . like Dwert and J Lin

    No way he retires without a farewell tour he has too much ego to ever do that this is a ploy to get the Lakers to panic and upgrade the roster. He wants them to sign Kyrie oh how I hope it blows up in their faces. I called it last night the narrative would be he doesn't have enough help and thats why they lost.

    Dwert is assembling a super team in Taiwan. Bron and Dwert together with DWade and Bosh will win not one, not two, not three...

    I’d like to see him come out to identify as a woman, go to the WNBA and put up 100 ppg.

    Nah.

    That isnt what MJ did and he considered the goat.

    Lebron did the right thing winning 4 rings in different settings and situations. Thats some he has over MJ who was a 1 tricker and only won rings in that 7 yr span when he was with Pippen and co.
