How long can LeBron realistically play?

[Black_Panther_JS]

As long as he can continue bodying the whole NBA and can maintain his athleticism he'll be straight

Plus he's a good passer and playmaker

The way its looking he can play on an All Star level til at least 40

I think he wants 7 then will retire lol. So if he wins this yr, and plays 5 more seasons and only has to win 3 more, I think it's doable.

This. As long as he’s healthy and the Lakers remain in contention, he won’t stop until at least 7. Especially with his annoyance over second place for the MVP, doing Space Jam 2, and pushing for the release of the last dance. He’s focused on his legacy and is going to do everything he can for that goat title.

 

[Optimus Prime]

he's 3 seasons from the all time scoring lead with ~40K points, one he gets to that, he will think about it

 

[filial_piety]

I think I heard somewhere that he wanted to play with his son??

If he wanted, I think he could always have a roster spot somewhere over the next 10 years...but as an elite player, I think he has ONE more season, and then i think he hits a wall considering his age, the miles, the training etc.

Even at his worst, I think he can be a 15/6 player

Bron still putting asses in seats and selling merch. He plays as long as he is interested, maybe he can can start blatantly ring chasing

Jokic is unathletic as fukk, never leaves his feet or runs with any speed, and is a star player. LeBron is a few inches shorter, but otherwise is there anything that Jokic can do right now that LeBron won't still be able to do 10 years from now? What would keep him from putting up 18-8-8 as a vet presence and 2nd/3rd option on a title team?

Why didn't anyone pull up @Rhakim on this bullshyt?



This delusional ass muh'fukka believes Bron, at the age of 45, is going to be a better jump-shooter than he was during his prime/peak (Jokic's efficiency on jump-shots this season eclipses Bron's best season). This delusional ass muh'fukka believes Bron, at the age of 45, is going to develop a post-game equal to Jokic's with all his footwork, counters and finishing off both shoulders. This delusional ass muh'fukka believes Bron, at the age of 45, is going to be able to carry a high-volume scoring and creating load. This delusional ass muh'fukka believes Bron, at the age of 45, is going to be able to back down every single big man in the league and finish over them. This delusional ass muh'fukka believes Bron, at the age of 45, is going to be an arguable top-5 player.....

@Rhakim is the @Sccit of the Bron stans. Delusional beyond all comprehension.

Big regret that I'm going to have in a post covid works. I may never get a chance to see some of the GOATs, sports and music. I'm praying I'll get an opportunity to see Stevie Wonder live but die to covid and him being up in age, who knows.

Managed to see Stevie and Sade live on two occasions. I was supposed to see Janet this summer but it was canceled like everything else . Never did get to see Mike or Prince. I do have quite a few checked off of my list though.

If he eventually takes a Vince Carter role, dude may play till he’s 50. Although at this rate, I think he may stick around to give the all time assist record a run.

Bron will play till he gets the scoring record for sure but he not getting the assist record being some 6,000 away from catching Magic. At his current rate of 7.4 a game times 82 he would have to do that for another 11 years to surpass Magic. Bron is that dude but that ain't happening.

 

[Reggie]

I think he has got one Bron season left at his usual rate of 25-27 7 and 7-10 then i think his scoring goes down a little bit and the assists stay in the 10 range. He can be a 20 ppg scorer for at least the next 3 years and after he slows down he can be a true point forward without worrying about handling the scoring or move over to power forward and work from the post more. Only when he isn't the main focal point will i think Bron retires and i don't see that happening for at least 2 but probably 3 more seasons minimum.

 

[DoubleClutch]

I personally think Lebron takes some time off after winning this year

Then comes back after Bronny enters the league

you mean Stockton? He’s about a season and half off from Magic. I figure if he gets 10k assists he’d be a lock for #3 all time. And that given his longevity, dude might play long enough to take a run at Stockton.

Magic i meant bruh. Good looking on the correction. Everything i said for Magic was meant for Stockton. Bron ain't catching John and if he does at that point the man has to be a cyborg or alien or something not from this Earth.

 

[VBM]

yeah right, and Mike Smrek led the 1988 Lakers to a ring
