LeBron James has announced that he will be returning for his 21st season in the NBA. He made the announcement at the ESPYs where he was accepting an award for the Best Record-Breaking Performance of the last year, commemorating him as the NBA's all-time scorer. James admitted that he had been contemplating retirement at the end of the season but has decided to continue playing. He said that he has been asking himself if he can still play without cheating the game and if he can give everything to the game. His sons' passion for basketball and watching them play and coach is what keeps him coming back every year. James has long discussed his desire to play with his son, Bronny, who will play at USC next season and is expected to be a first-round pick in 2024. Despite being swept in the Western Conference Finals by the Denver Nuggets, James had a successful 20th season, averaging 28.9 points, 8.3 rebounds, and 6.8 assists.
