Currently the oldest player in the National Basketball Association, LeBron James, a combo forward for the Los Angeles Lakers who has won 20 championships, is hoping to continue his career into the season that would be his age 42.
At the end of this summer, the 6’9″ superstar has the opportunity to opt out of the final year of his current contract, which is for 2024-25 and is worth $51.4 million.
ESPN’s Brian Windhorst, who has been covering James since his high school days at St. Vincent-St. Mary in Akron, has reported that James is aiming to stay in Los Angeles in order to (probably) finish up his career in a lucrative fresh deal. Windhorst has been covering James since his high school days. James’ mileage to this point (bearing in mind that he has appeared in an NBA Finals for half of his finished seasons to this point, and that he has also experienced deep Conference Finals campaigns in two other seasons) has not actually prevented him from being a borderline All-NBA performer yet again.
