Despite hinting this past season may have been his last in the NBA, LeBron James recently confirmed he will continue to play for the Los Angeles Lakers this fall.
While watching him play is always a treat for basketball fans, a sizable chunk of people seem to despise him and wish he would go away. Unfortunately for them, that day will not come for a while.
The 2023-24 campaign will be James’ 21st in the NBA, and as long as his injured right foot fully heals, one shouldn’t be surprised to see him put up MVP-caliber numbers yet again.
He took to social media to deliver a message to his haters over two months before the start of training camp.

With a stacked and balanced team around him, James may frustrate his naysayers yet again this season: The Lakers look to have a real shot at winning another NBA championship.
