LeBron James Eyes Longevity, Builds LA Legacy

LeBron James, now 40 and after 22 NBA seasons, has publicly stated he could play another 5–10 years, dismissing speculation about imminent retirement. He continues to excel on the court, averaging 24.4 points, 8.2 assists, and 7.8 rebounds last season despite a modest decline in athleticism. James has firmly ruled out any interest in coaching post-retirement, declaring there is 'zero chance' he will coach. Off the court, he is building a custom home in Beverly Hills, signaling long-term roots in Los Angeles. He is also expanding his legacy through sports entrepreneurship, with his Team AlUla achieving a podium finish in the E1 World Championship powerboat series. Although retirement rumors continue, James appears focused on prolonging his playing career and his influence beyond basketball.
