The NBAโs all-time leading scorer admitted that even though heโs still playing at a high level, he knows retirement is drawing near.
โNot very long,โ James said when asked how much longer he plans to play.
โIโm on the other side, obviously, of the hill. So Iโm not going to play another 21 years, thatโs for damn sure. But not very long.
โI donโt know what or when that door will close as far as when I retire, but I donโt have much time left.โ
