LeBron James isn’t there yet. But when he gets there, he sounds ready.
Speaking with ESPN’s Dave McMenamin, James opened up about what retirement will look like whenever that day comes.
“Hell yeah,” he said when asked if he’s ready. “My wife is going to get a lot of f***ing time because I’ve had to sacrifice not being with my wife a lot because I wanted to be the greatest player that ever played this game.
“My daughter, I’m going to spend a lot of time with her because I spent the first 11 years of her life being away from her. My youngest son is in college. My family deserves all my time.”
That part came first. Then came the rest.
“And then, me. I deserve my time, too,” James said. “Because I’ve dedicated to this sport for so long that I’ll be happy as f*** when it’s all done to get the f*** away.”
James, 40, has spent more than two decades in the NBA and remains one of the league’s most productive players.
He’s still going. But whenever it ends, he made one thing clear: He knows exactly what’s next.
