Lebron James leaves fans wondering: Is this the end?

The drama in the ranks of the Los Angeles Lakers, it seems, will not calm down. The biggest star of the franchise, the man who has been seen as a symbol of the league for years, tickled the fan's imagination again; is this the end of an era?

Lebron James, at the age of 41, left everyone in suspense again. After losing to Minnesota already in the first round of the play-offs, he pointed out that he has serious discussions with his family ahead of him before making a decision about his future. But now he's gone a step further; posting a video clip that looks like it's from a press conference, but cuts off just as he's about to answer a question about the withdrawal.

There was only one sentence in the description of the video:

"I wonder the same..."

What will happen? Lebron's future is interesting

Although he has the option to stay for another year for an amazing $52.6 million, the deadline for a decision is the end of June. And while insiders like Shams Charania claim he is likely to play another season, his behavior leaves a lot of question marks over the heads. Many have already begun to speculate that he could say goodbye.

Luka Dončić arrived with a reputation as an heir apparent. The combination of experience and youth was supposed to launch a title run. But the premature elimination and LeBron's silence have left a big question mark over the entire project.

It's also interesting that the veteran is already playing with his eldest son Bronny, while the younger Bryce is just waiting for his chance in 2026. That could mean he has at least two more years left in his legs; but his recent actions suggest he may not even play next year.

Last season, he recorded 24.4 points, 7.8 rebounds and 8.2 assists. Numbers that many younger players would sign. However, when your mental fatigue is greater than your physical, the numbers don't mean much.
