LeBron contemplates potential retirement after NBA playoff exit

LeBron James says he has no idea whether his 24-point performance in the Los Angeles Lakers' season-ending playoff loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder on Tuesday AEST was the final game of his NBA career.The top scorer in league history stuck to the strategy he has taken into the past several summers when he declined to announce his future immediately after the Lakers' final post-season defeat.He has not ruled out retirement or a return to the Lakers, and he said nothing about moving to another team as he contemplates an unprecedented 24th NBA season."I don't know what the future holds for me, obviously, as it stands right now tonight," the 41-year-old James said."I've got a lot of time now He was impressive out there.James has played in more games, won more games, scored more points and taken more shots than everybody else who has ever put on a uniform, but he has never put a limit on his time in the game.Instead, he repeated his oft-stated declarations that he will figure it out with his family over a few glasses of wine in the next couple of months."Nobody has any idea what the future holds, and I don't either," James said."I'll take time to recalibrate and look over the season and see what's best for my future, and when I get to that point, everyone will know."AP
