Don’t you wait for your second son? James will officially announce a major decision. Will he retire after 23 seasons on the 23rd?

While the preseason of the new season is ongoing, James posted on social media that he will announce a "decision of all decisions" at 12:00 local Eastern Time on the 7th, which is 12:00 pm on the 7th. Many people have therefore speculated that James, who wears jersey No. 23, may have decided to officially retire after his 23rd season. This so-called decision means that he is ready to retire.

James is indeed not far away from retirement. The new season will be the 23rd season of his personal career. Prior to this, no team in history had ever been able to play into its 23rd season. Carter, who had the most, only played for 22 seasons, and had been reduced to a role player in the last few years. James is still the league's top star and was selected to the best second team last season.

With James' strength, playing for a few more seasons is not a problem, but in terms of age, James is already 40 years old and will celebrate his 41st birthday at the end of December. In the past three seasons, James has been the oldest player in the league. Players who can continue to play after reaching the age of 40 are rare in history.

So, if James really wants to announce his retirement, it is very reasonable. The most critical thing is that James did not choose to re-sign his contract with the Lakers this summer, but implemented the player option, which means that he currently only has a one-year contract and will become a free agent after the end of the new season. This is also a clear signal that James may retire directly.

In addition, James achieved the feat of becoming teammates with his eldest son Bronny last season and competing on the same stage. This has been his long-cherished wish. After this wish is achieved, James should have no other regrets and can retire naturally.

If James really retires after this season and announces his retirement in advance, he is very likely to enjoy the same treatment as Kobe when he staged a retirement tour. As one of the greatest players in history, James should be paid tribute by the team and fans every time he goes to a team's home court.

However, it is hard to say whether James has decided to officially retire. As long as he is willing, he can still play for two or three more seasons. Moreover, James' second son Bryce may also participate in the draft next year. James may retire with his second son after competing on the same stage. In addition, James now has Doncic, a super giant teammate, and has a chance to compete for the championship, so he may not retire early.
