LeBron James is entering his eighth year with the Los Angeles Lakers and an unprecedented 23rd season in the NBA. This offseason, speculation swirled about whether James might hang up his sneakers. Even his longtime friend and former NBA star Carmelo Anthony jokingly encouraged LeBron to consider stepping away from the game.

Yet, James has not made a definitive choice. During the Lakers’ media day, he offered only cryptic clues about what lies ahead. When a reporter pressed him on whether fans could expect to see him at next year’s media day, LeBron answered with, “Maybe.”

Last season, LeBron created history by sharing the court with his eldest son, Bronny James. They were the first father-son duo to play in the NBA. Insider Shams Charania has suggested that James’ youngest son, Bryce, could serve as motivation for the star to continue playing beyond this season.

However, LeBron was clear that he does not plan to extend his career solely to share the floor with Bryce.

No, I’m not waiting on Bryce. He has his own timeline. I’ve got my timeline. I don’t know if they quite match up,” James said at media day.

If LeBron suits up this season, he will officially become the first player in NBA history to reach 23 seasons. At the media day, Bronny James expressed amazement at his father’s sustained excellence.

I’m just as surprised as everyone else. I don’t know how he’s doing it. It’s crazy to be a part of that. I’ve been here from literally the start,” Bronny said.

The Lakers will open their season on October 21 against the Golden State Warriors. With retirement speculation swirling, every game this year could carry extra weight. Fans wait to see if this will truly be the final season of James’ remarkable NBA journey.

It’s rare for a home crowd to cheer the visiting team, but Luka Doncic’s return to Dallas was no ordinary night.

Just days before February’s trade deadline, the Mavericks shocked the NBA by sending their 26-year-old superstar to the Lakers—a move that outraged fans and sparked backlash toward GM Nico Harrison.

On Wednesday, Doncic played his first game back in Dallas since the trade. The arena was filled with fans in both his old Mavs and new Lakers jerseys, many chanting “Fire Nico” in protest.

Despite the emotion in the air, Doncic delivered a dominant performance, scoring a game-high 45 points to lead the Lakers to a 112-97 win. It was a powerful return for one of the league’s brightest stars—and a night Dallas won’t soon forget

Every seat in the arena was draped with a T-shirt reading “Hvala za vse,” which translates from Slovenian to “thank you for everything.” It was a thoughtful nod to Doncic’s heritage and impact on the franchise.

Before tip-off, during the starting lineup announcements, the Mavericks played a tribute video showcasing some of Doncic’s most iconic moments in a Dallas jersey. The emotional gesture clearly resonated—moving Doncic to tears in front of the crowd that once called him their own.

Though his scoring slowed in the second half, he continued to lead effectively, securing both a Lakers win and an unforgettable showing for the fans in Dallas.
