At the age of 40, LeBron James has decided to continue his illustrious NBA career by opting into his contract with the Los Angeles Lakers for the 2025-26 season. This decision, made just before free agency opened, secures him a salary of $52.6 million and guarantees his fans at least another year of thrilling performances.

However, the duration of his career beyond that point remains uncertain. Recently, a video that was leaked online hinted at some personal pressures for him to consider retirement, particularly from his wife, Savannah.

ESPN reported that during a dinner in New York City earlier this week, captured in a widely circulated video, James expressed that his wife would like him to retire within the next year.

In the video, James is heard stating, “She wants me to f—ing retire in the next year or so.”

James has indicated that at this stage in his career, he’s adopting a year-by-year approach, with his primary goals being to win and to potentially play alongside his son, Bronny, who was recently drafted by the Lakers as their second-round pick in the 2024 NBA draft. By deciding to opt into his current contract, James has shown his commitment to playing the upcoming season, although he does not have an extension beyond that, leaving his future in the sport uncertain.

It seems his wife would prefer he retire sooner rather than later, based on his own words.
