"I still got something left", he said

LeBron James will play next season for the Los Angeles Lakers. The 38-year-old NBA superstar confirmed the news on stage during The ESPYS on Wednesday night after accepting the record-breaking performance award for becoming the NBA’s career scoring leader.

When James he surpassed Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s mark, he shared his thoughts and hinted that he is not sure hot much left he’s got in him.

“In that moment I’m asking myself if I can still play without cheating the game. Can I give everything to the game still? The truth is I’ve been asking myself this question at the end of the season for a couple years now. I just never openly talked about it,” James said.

“I don’t care how many more points I score or what I can and cannot do on the floor. The real question for me is can I play without cheating this game? The day I can’t give the game everything on the floor is the day I’ll be done. Lucky for you guys that day is not today.”

“So yeah, I still got something left,” James said. “A lot left.”
