AMERICAN BASKETBALL PLAYER, LEBRON JAMES SAYS HE WILL TAKE TIME TO CONSIDER HIS FUTURE AFTER THE LOS ANGELES LAKERS WERE SWEPT OUT OF THE NBA PLAYOFFS BY OKLAHOMA CITY ON MONDAY IN WHAT COULD TURN OUT TO BE THE FINAL GAME OF HIS CAREER.
41-YEAR-OLD JAMES, DELIVERED A TYPICALLY DEFIANT PERFORMANCE WITH 24 POINTS AND 12 REBOUNDS, BUT IT WAS NOT ENOUGH TO PREVENT THE LAKERS FROM FALLING 115 TO 110 AS THE THUNDER COMPLETED A 4-0 SWEEP IN THE WESTERN CONFERENCE SEMI-FINALS SERIES.
THE FOUR-TIME NBA CHAMPION IS NOW OUT OF CONTRACT WITH THE LAKERS AND WILL HEAD INTO THE OFFSEASON AS A FREE AGENT WITH UNCERTAINTY SWIRLING AROUND HIS FUTURE.
SOME REPORTS HAVE INDICATED JAMES IS READY TO EXTEND WITH THE LAKERS FOR WHAT WOULD BE A 24TH SEASON IN THE NBA, WHILE OTHERS HAVE SUGGESTED THAT HE MAY CONSIDER HEADING ELSEWHERE OR FINALLY DECIDE TO RETIRE FROM THE SPORT.
JAMES SPEAKS LITTLE WHEN QUESTIONED ABOUT HIS PLANS FOLLOWING A LOSS IN LOS ANGELES IN FRONT OF A GALAXY OF COURTSIDE HOLLYWOOD STARS, INCLUDING LEONARDO DICAPRIO, SEAN PENN AND EDDIE MURPHY.
