Anyone who thinks of basketball thinks of LeBron James. And that will stay that way for the time being, because the superstar doesn’t stop.
LeBron James continues. The 40-year-old basketball superstar will move his option at the Los Angeles Lakers and thus go to his 23rd NBA season. Several US media report this, including AP, ESPN and “The Athletic”.
With the decision, James would become the sole record holder for the longest career in NBA history-so far he has shared this brand with Vince Carter. For the coming season, the Forward will receive around $ 52.6 million (around 45 million euros).
James is currently the oldest active player in the league. In his career, he not only earned more than $ 500 million, but also broke many records. No player scored more points than he scored. Last season he had an average of 24.4 points, 7.8 rebounds and 8.2 assists per game. However, he couldn’t change anything in the early playoff out against Minnesota.
The four -time champion and MVP last won the title with the Lakers in 2020. With his new contract, he sets another exclamation mark in an unprecedented career.
