LeBron James openly told the world that he is reckoning with his basketball mortality, contemplating his retirement from the NBA.
While discussions on whether LeBron will or won’t retire will dominate until we have an answer, Dwight Howard has doubled down on bringing LeBron over to be his teammate on the Taoyuan Leopards.
“We got purple and gold jerseys, I got one right here, it’s white. It’s got purple and gold though. Nobody’s got No. 6, you can have that. You’ve played in the league for 35 years and broke every record. You’re the GOAT. LeGoat. You can be the LeGM over here, the LeCoach. You can be the trainer, you can be the cook, LeDriver.”

Howard is honestly hilarious for what he’s been doing with players all playoffs long. His fantasy teams with superstars like Kevin Durant have already made people think about the possibility of this actually happening. He told Ja Morant to come over and not bring guns and even campaigned for Doc Rivers to come and be their coach. This is one of the funniest things happening off the court during the playoffs this season.
An Interesting Future Dilemma For LeBron James
Even though Dwight graciously threw out the option for James to spend the twilight of his NBA career in Taiwan, it doesn’t seem like he will be interested. With LeBron also saying his desire to play alongside Bronny has diminished, people are genuinely thinking LeBron retiring could be a reality.
If he comes back to the court, Rob Pelinka will hope he can lead a similar core from this season to the title. Unless James is using this as a bargaining chip to force the Lakers into bringing Kyrie Irving on the court, he really does seem serious about retirement. Even though he gave us 20 magnificent years, fans are still clamoring for more.
