Despite much speculation, LeBron James did not announce his impending retirement on Tuesday.
Instead, the most recognizable athlete in the country did what he so often does, continued building his brand with a corny nod to something in his past.
While we may not know James’ plans for life after basketball, we should appreciate what we have while we have it. As I imagine James has crooned to his kids before, as all cheesy dads have at one time or another, you don’t know what you’ve got till it’s gone.
Lakers ticket prices have already come back down to earth after dramatic increases due to the idea of seeing LeBron play during his final season. Though James did not announce any form retirement plans, it’s not out of the realm of possibility that this will be his last season in the NBA.
Whether LeBron retires sooner or later, very few athletes of his caliber and greatness have ever played the game, so witness The King in person while you still can.
