Lakers Star LeBron James Makes Stunning Admission Regarding the Future of His Career

Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James, the oldest active player in the NBA today, continues to defy age and remains one of the league's elite players, which is an unprecedented feat for someone his age.

However, the 39-year-old recently made a significant admission regarding his mortality in the basketball world after their game against the Brooklyn Nets on Sunday, March 31. 

"Not very long. I'm on the other side of the heel. I'm not going to play another 21 years. That's for damn sure. Not very long. I don't know when that door will close as far as when I retire, but I don't have much time left," the NBA's all-time leading scorer told reporters when asked about his plans in the league.
