LeBron James made history yet again on Wednesday night, becoming the oldest NBA player to record three consecutive triple-doubles as the Los Angeles Lakers staged a thrilling comeback against the Memphis Grizzlies, winning 128-123. Despite his extraordinary performance, James, who turns 40 next month, hinted at his retirement plans, revealing that he doesn\u2019t intend to play \u201cuntil the wheels fall off.\u201d<\/p>\n
After the game, James shared, \u201cI\u2019m not going to play that much longer. I don\u2019t know if it\u2019s one year or two years, but I\u2019m not going to stay on the court just for the sake of it.\u201d James\u2019s comments add new intrigue to his potential retirement timeline as he continues to dominate on the court.<\/p>\n
The Lakers star recorded 35 points, 14 assists, and 12 rebounds against Memphis, following triple-doubles against the Philadelphia 76ers and Toronto Raptors. By achieving this feat, the NBA\u2019s all-time leading scorer extended his record, originally set in 2019 at age 34, as the oldest player with three consecutive triple-doubles.<\/p>\n
James\u2019s recent record follows another historic achievement last month when he and his oldest son, Bronny, became the first father-son duo to appear in an NBA game. While he has expressed interest in possibly playing alongside his younger son, Bryce, LeBron emphasized that his longevity depends on both his physical and mental fitness.<\/p>\n
This season, LeBron is still performing at an elite level, averaging 24.3 points, 8.1 rebounds, and 9.4 assists. As the Lakers prepare for their next challenge against the Spurs on Friday, fans are left to wonder how much longer they\u2019ll get to witness one of the greatest players of all time in action.<\/p>\n
