LeBron James has recently added another chapter to his storied career with a two-year contract extension from the Los Angeles Lakers. As he heads into his 22nd NBA season, speculation about his retirement swells. 

Though James has hinted that his retirement is approaching, he still seems eager to continue playing. His agent, Rich Paul, has even expressed hopes that James will extend his career by another two or three seasons.

However, the news cycle took an unexpected turn recently when ESPN analyst Adrian Wojnarowski announced his retirement. Wojnarowski is leaving ESPN for a new role at his alma mater, St. Bonaventure University. This move comes despite having three years remaining on his contract with ESPN.

The announcement of Wojnarowski's retirement before LeBron James has led to a wave of comical and lighthearted comments online. NBA fans have taken to social media, playfully suggesting that Wojnarowski's decision to retire now, just as James is set to continue his career, is a cosmic sign of the Lakers star's longevity.

As no NBA player has played more than 22 seasons, there is growing speculation about whether LeBron James will retire after this season. Following the Lakers' early exit from the 2024 NBA Playoffs, where the Denver Nuggets defeated them in the first round, James addressed the rumors about his potential retirement. He took to social media to share his thoughts. 

"I've seen and heard a lot of reports about my future. I said it last night, and I'll say it again. I do not know yet, as I'm only thinking about spending time with my family and friends! When I know, after speaking with the family, my counsel as well as my representation about it, then you guys will know," James wrote.

The 39-year-old James is coming off a season averaging 25.7 points, 7.3 rebounds, and 8.3 assists per game.

NBA Rumors: LeBron James' Son Bronny Is on Draft Boards of 'Multiple Teams'

Chris Coduto/Getty Images Bronny James' USC team has struggled this season, but that reportedly hasn't stopped the NBA interest in the son of legend LeBron James. "When I talk to people around the league, he's on the draft boards of multiple teams," Shams Charania of The Athletic and Stadium reported Thursday: Charania noted teams around the league believe he is "further along" on the defensive side of the ball than the offensive side, which makes performances like Wednesday's all the more important. The USC freshman finished with 11 points, six assists and five rebounds while shooting 5-of-11 from the field in one of his best offensive showings of the season in a loss to Arizona. The only game that he scored more points in was a Dec. 30 loss to Oregon State when he finished with 15 on 6-of-11 shooting from the field. Perhaps most importantly, James played a season-high 30 minutes against the Wildcats on Wedn...
