LeBron James made a cryptic post on social media that had to do with the persistent rumors that he may be about to retire from the NBA.

Many former players have made the leap to the NBA media, including legends such as Shaquille O'Neal, Charles Barkley, Dwyane Wade, Kendrick Perkins, JJ Redick, Paul Pierce, and Kevin Garnett. Even Michael Jordan has joined the media after recently signing a contract with NBC to provide exclusive coverage.

The retirement chatter has surrounded James the past few years, which he officially squashed when he announced he’d return to the Lakers in 2023 at the ESPYs and again returned last season on a two-year, $104 million contract. This all came after James said in 2022 that his last season in the NBA would be with his son Bronny.
