Rich Paul: LeBron James 'could play five more years' in the NBA
LeBron James is performing well for the Los Angeles Lakers in their playoff series against the Houston Rockets, and his agent Rich Paul believes he could play five more years in the NBA. James, 41, has averaged strong numbers and taken on a key role after injuries to Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves.
LeBron James is continuing to defy age as the Los Angeles Lakers look to take a stranglehold on their first-round playoff series against the Houston Rockets. He has orchestrated the Lakers' offense well, scored when needed, and played effective defense, taking a 2-0 series lead. Rich Paul, James' agent, said on his 'Game Over' podcast that James could play five more seasons in the NBA if desired. James, 41, is in his record 23rd NBA season and has averaged 20.9 points, 6.1 rebounds, and 7.2 assists per game during the regular season. After injuries to Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves, James shifted back to his customary role as the team's primary scoring threat, having 19 points and 13 assists in Game 1 and 28 points with seven assists in Game 2. The Lakers' potential series win would be a highlight of James' career, given their short-handed situation.
