Kendrick Perkins Discusses What Lies Ahead For LeBron James In The League
The Lakers secured their 13th victory of the 2024-25 NBA season in a recent game against the Portland Trail Blazers. LeBron James was sidelined due to foot soreness, but he enjoyed the game from courtside alongside his son, Bronny. Additionally, he shared a heartfelt moment with Anthony Davis and Bronny during the game.
As James approaches his 40th birthday this month, many fans are speculating about his potential retirement. Enthusiasts are uncertain whether he will retire with the Lakers or return to his former team to hang up his jersey. In light of this situation, NBA analyst Kendrick Perkins shared some intriguing insights on ESPN’s First Take on Tuesday.
“My sources tell me that if LeBron James at any point comes out and says that he wants to be traded or he wants to entertain it, they’re going to entertain it. It ain’t no holding him back.” Perkins said.
