Carmelo Anthony Urges LeBron James to Retire After 22 Seasons
The NBA is once again buzzing about LeBron James’ future, and this time, the push for retirement comes from someone who knows him best—Carmelo Anthony.
During his recent appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Anthony, now a Hall of Famer, spoke candidly about his longtime friend’s career longevity.
“He’s still going, it’s unbelievable, man. That’s my brother. We’ve been connected since we were 17, 18. But enough is enough—give it a break.”
Anthony clarified his comments weren’t about questioning James’ greatness, but about knowing when to walk away.
LeBron’s 23rd Season
Turning 41 in December, James is set to begin his 23rd NBA season after picking up his $52.6 million player option with the Lakers. His contract runs through 2026, leaving the door wide open for speculation.
Some fans believe James will stay long enough to share the floor with his son Bronny, while others think this could be his final chapter.
A Legacy Secured
With four championships, four MVPs, and the all-time scoring crown, LeBron’s place among the game’s legends is untouchable. The only question left is when he’ll decide to write his ending.
