Lebron James will be back in the NBA next season after hinting at a possible retirement following a postseason loss back in May. 

The NBA star and Icon said he will be returning for another year of play – his 21st NBA season.

The league’s all-time leading scorer revealed his plans while onstage at the ESPY Awards on Wednesday.

Said Jameds “I don’t care how many more points I score or what I can or can’t do on the floor and the real question for me is: Can I play this game without cheating? The day that I can’t give the game everything on the floor is the day I’ll be done. Lucky for you guys, the day is not today.”

James hinted at a possible retirement following the Lakers’ loss to the Denver Nuggets n last season’s Western Conference Finals, telling reporters he had “a lot to think about” regarding his future in the league.

James has repeatedly said he hoped to one day play in the NBA alongside his oldest son, Bronny James, who is committed to play college basketball at the University of Southern California. James would be eligible to enter the NBA Draft in 2024, the year his father turns 40.

The 38-year-old received the ESPY’s Best Record-Breaking Performance award for surpassing Kareem Abdul Jabbar last season to become the NBA scoring leader.
