LeBron puts a question over future after Lakers elimination

LeBron James began the final game of his 20th NBA season with the highest-scoring postseason, but ended the night by questioning how much longer he plans to chase with history after his Los Angeles Lakers were swept out of the Western Conference finals 4-0 by Denver Nuggets in the series.

James set a personal record with 31 points in the first half of Game 4 on Monday night, but also missed two potential tying shots in the final minute as the Denver Nuggets ended the Lakers’ season with a 113-111 victory.

The 38-year-old James finished with 40 points, 10 rebounds, nine assists and immense frustration after Los Angeles’ remarkable late-season surge ended with four consecutive defeats.

“We’ll see what happens going forward,” James said in the final answer of his postgame news conference. “I don’t know. I don’t know. I’ve got a lot to think about, to be honest. Just for me personally going forward with the game of basketball, I’ve got a lot to think about.”
