LeBron suddenly updated his personal social media, writing: "The decision of all decisions, October 7th, 12 PM Eastern Time.”
The shirt LeBron wore in the video is identical to what he wore in 2010 when he declared his departure from the Cavaliers to join the Heat. The implication is obvious — this will be another decision that will shock the entire NBA.
Grizzlies star Morant commented repeatedly under the video: "No," and "They say you’re lying."
Current teammate Vanderbilt also appeared in the comments: What does this mean?
Longtime friend Love posted a video of Jordan’s retirement speech at the 2003 ceremony held at Washington’s MCI Center (now Capital One Arena), jokingly captioning it: "Decision two."
Reporter Siegel revealed,LeBron has signed a major contract with Amazon, and this is no coincidence.If LeBron isn’t announcing that he’s bringing his talent to Amazon to pave his future, then it’s very likely he’s declaring to the world that the 25-26 season will be his final dance as a player.
The 25-26 season is LeBron’s contract year, with a salary of $52.63 million. The Lakers have clearly stated they will not renew his contract. He will turn 41 on December 30 this year, but still maintains strong performance, averaging 24.4 points, 7.8 rebounds, 8.2 assists, and 1 steal per game in last season’s regular season, and 25.4 points, 9 rebounds, 5.6 assists, 2 steals, and 1.8 blocks in the playoffs.
Various capital markets have already reacted; ticket website TickPick shows ticket prices for the Lakers’ last home game of the regular season against the Jazz have skyrocketed, with the lowest price now reaching $445, compared to only $85 before.
Top American sports prediction market ProphetX states the probability of LeBron announcing retirement is 52%.
Based on the information released so far, it may be written that LeBron’s NBA career started in 2003 and will end in 2026, spanning 23 years. Next season, he will begin a retirement tour, receiving warm welcomes from opponents at every away game, much like Kobe did in the 15-16 season. Of course, the Lakers would best honor him with a championship as the perfect farewell gift.
They say Jordan is the highest mountain in NBA history, and LeBron is the longest river.
A tribute to a legend — greatness beyond question.
