I’ve done it a lot, and it’s not fun to me to not be able to be a part of getting to the (NBA) Finals.” LeBron was also asked to assess this past year with the Lakers. “I guess I’ll reflect on my career when I’m done, but I don’t know,” he said. “The only thing I concern myself with is being available to my teammates, and I don’t like the fact that I didn’t play as many games as I would have liked because of injury.

That’s the only thing I care about, is being available to my teammates.” LeBron previously said that he would like to play his final NBA season alongside his son Bronny James, who is now 18.
