In encouraging news for Lakers fans, LeBron, now in his 22nd NBA season, reaffirmed his commitment to finishing his glittering career with the Purple and Gold.
"I think that’s the plan. I think I would love for it to end here," James said while speaking on ending the career with the Lakers. "I came here (LA) to play the last stage of my career and to finish it off here."
