LeBron James<\/a> will be entering his 23rd season in the NBA, with no signs of slowing down or thinking about retirement. Last season, he made the All-NBA second team, proving he is still among the best players in the league. He will also be the oldest player in the league for the third consecutive season. Some might say he cannot continue winning against Father Time for so long.<\/p>\n

This will be the first season in which LeBron doesn\u2019t have a clear option, either a player option, a guaranteed contract, or a team option. What will the future bring? Well, according to Brian Windhorst from ESPN, a move overseas is not out of the question.<\/p>\n

LeBron James Might Seek Hoops Beyond the NBA<\/h2>\n

Speaking on the latest Hoop Collective Podcast, Brian Windhorst mentioned there have been rumors about LeBron playing in other pro leagues. But nothing is certain at this point.<\/p>\n

\u201cI can tell you his play on the court is not indicative of somebody who is near retirement. Look, he\u2019s got to want to do it. He\u2019s got to put his body through it. I keep hearing people say this might be the last year. Look, he\u2019s been linked to potentially playing in other leagues. I don\u2019t know. Maybe. But if he stays healthy, I do not see LeBron James slowing down. Yeah, maybe he\u2019s tired of doing it, but I do not see LeBron slowing down that much.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
