LeBron James answers retirement rumours without even saying a word

LeBron James has seemingly answered all retirement rumours almost two months after the LA Lakers season ended.

After his 22nd year in the league, there were concerns in Los Angeles if James would return back next season. The Lakers lost their first round series to the Minnesota Timberwolves and after that it was announced that James had suffered an MCL sprain.

He went into recovery mode quickly, but this left a big question marks on if the four-time champion would call the curtains on his legendary NBA career. However, Shams Charania reported that the star would be back for at least another season and is most likely to play for the Lakers alongside Luka Doncic. And while James has been active on social media with his podcast going viral for his take on ring culture, the legendary sportsman gave fans another reason to be happy about as he appeared on the basketball court with renowned trainer Chris Brickley.

LeBron James looks sharp in new video

Brickley is known for training players, especially in the offseason when there are no games. James was seen training with Brickley and he seemed to look in great physical shape.

The trainer posted a video on his Instagram with James training and captioned it: "All-Time Leading Scorer, All-Time Playoff Scoring Leader, All-Time Field Goals Made, Most Consecutive Seasons Averaging 25+ PPG, First & Only NBA Player With 40K Points, 10K Rebounds, 10K Assists @King James We Got Better This Morning!"

Fans seemed excited to see James back on the court and heaped praise on him in the comments.

One fan said: "Look like he got four more seasons lol."

While another added: "The greatest of all time no debate."

A fan also appreciated the work James had been putting in the offseason.

He remarked: "Decades of being locked in, in the off season and the tools still look sharp. I'm ready for October."

The rumours of James' retirement had become active after the playoff loss, but the Lakers player confirmed in a recent interview with AP that his family asked him to continue doing what he loved.

"They're like, 'Dad, continue on your dream. This is your dream. Continue on your focus. You've been here for us this whole time,'" he said. "When you have that type of support, it makes it a lot easier."

The 40-year-old is sharing the locker room with his son Bronny, who was drafted last season by the Lakers.

"I have a lot of time to take care of my injury, my knee, the rest of my body and make sure I'm as close to 100 percent as possible when training camp begins in late September," James added.

Last season was the first time since his rookie season that James' averaged dropped below 25.

Despite that he was extremely influential in the Lakers run to the playoffs as they were just had a 6-6 record without him.

Next season will be exciting as it will be James' first full season with Doncic as his co star.

Both showcased a glimpse of what they could do in the second half of last season, but with a full preseason and a training camp, they can definitely help the Lakers to a deep playoff run and potentially even win a championship.
