NBA all-time leading scorer LeBron James has reignited retirement speculation with a cryptic social media post after completing his 22nd season. In a video teaser titled ‘The Second Decision Coming Soon,’ James appears on a basketball court before a graphic announcing a significant decision on October 7th at 12pm EST. This follows his previous misleading teaser for Amazon Prime, which sparked similar rumors. Despite his age-40 season, James has shown no signs of slowing down, averaging 24.4 points, 8.2 assists, and 7.8 rebounds. He also posted 10 triple-doubles this past season, his most since 2019-20. James has earned his 21st consecutive All-Star nod, extending his record. After turning 40 on Dec. 30, he averaged 25.1 points per game, the most by any player age 40 or older. He became the first player in NBA history to play in the league at the same time as his son, Bronny James, who was drafted by the Los Angeles Lakers last summer. The two played in 21 games together. If James winds up playing in 2025-26, it would be his 23rd NBA season, which would set a new record. He currently shares the record with Vince Carter. He has yet to commit and said he would think about his future after his Los Angeles Lakers were eliminated from the playoffs.
