All while LeBron James’ first flirtation with retirement came as a surprise to many Los Angeles staffers, league sources told Yahoo Sports. Alas, there’s widespread skepticism that James will truly hang up his signature sneakers before a two-year, $97 million contract extension has yet to begin.

I’ll keep it simple. As far as Crazy LeBron trades.
Bronny is in his first year at USC. Bryce will be playing varsity for Sierra Canyon. LeBron is not going to want to miss that. Conversation over. – 5:50 PM

LeBron controls the media narrative. He knows exactly what he’s doing. He’s been doing it for 20 years. He’s not retiring. He’s gearing up for his best last chance to win Ring No. 5. – 12:16 PM

IMO, Father Time has been defeated over and over again. With Rafa Nadal missing the French Open for the first time since 2004 and LeBron James teasing the possible end of his career at 38, I shared why they’re perfect examples of why that’s the case:

I love how nobody is taking the LeBron retirement thing seriously at all. He said what he said the other night and the entire NBA world collectively went “Yeah, for sure, dude, totally.” – 5:10 PM

More on this storyline
Steph Curry is the greatest 3-point shooter in NBA history, but to some, he’s much more than that. Denver Nuggets star guard Jamal Murray was asked who his top-five all-time players are, and Curry made the cut alongside several other NBA greats. -via NBC Sports / May 25, 2023
Michal Jordan, Shaquille O’Neal and the late Kobe Bryant were the three retired basketball legends on Murray’s elite list. Meanwhile, Curry and Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James are the other two players on the list that are still in the league. -via NBC Sports / May 25, 2023
Dave McMenamin: Putting LAL-DEN Game 4 to bed, the league’s Last Two Minute Report found that Jamal Murray’s defense on LeBron James’ last drive and shot attempt was a correct no call. “Marginal body contact occurs,” the report stated. However, the sidelines out of bounds call with 56.7 seconds remaining when the possession was originally awarded to LAL, then switched to DEN leading to Nikola Jokic’s game-winning bucket, was deemed an incorrect call. The ball went off Murray’s hand, according to the L2M. -via Twitter @mcten / May 25, 2023
