LeBron James wants to retire with the Lakers.
The basketball great made the remark on the “SmartLess” podcast with Will Arnett, Jason Bateman and Sean Hayes, revealing that he does not want to play anywhere else.
James said, “I truly hope that I can finish my career with the Lakers. However many years that is, if it’s four, five, six, whatever, seven, I hope I can continue to play the game. I love being in L.A., my family loves being in L.A. Being with a historical franchise like the Lakers is something.”
He went on to explain, “It’s like me being in ‘Space Jam.’ I never thought it would be possible.”
