The basketball world was ignited with speculation after the Denver Nuggets eliminated the Los Angeles Lakers in the Western Conference Finals. The reason? A hint dropped by LeBron James about a potential retirement. However, if there’s anyone who isn’t buying into the retirement talks, it’s three-time NBA champion and Lakers legend Byron Scott.
In a candid conversation with sports analyst Brandon “Scoop B” Robinson, Scott clarified his stance, “No. No, I didn’t, I think LeBron still got another year or two left in him, and I think he wants to wait till Bronny gets to the NBA as well.”
Scott added: “So it’s going to be interesting to see the next couple of years. But when he talked about it hitting on it, I didn’t have a fear in the world that he was going to leave this year.”
The statement comes at a time when fans are eager to see father and son, LeBron and Bronny James, play together in the NBA. Bronny’s entry into professional basketball is eagerly awaited, and the idea of both James playing together or even against each other is a dream for many fans.

Byron Scott: LeBron James’ scoring feat “Unbreakable”
LeBron James’ recent accomplishment of becoming the NBA’s all-time scoring leader has added another achievement to his resume. The four-time MVP surpassed Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s record, recording an unbelievable 38,652 career points, proof of his unparalleled skill and longevity.
When questioned about the possibility of anyone breaking this monumental record, Scott responded straightforwardly. “No, I don’t.”
Scott added, “LeBron has played 20 years in the NBA, never really been fully hurt,” Scott said. “When he gets hurt, he gets right back. He keeps himself in unbelievable condition. He’s going to play another year. So I think he’s probably going to get to the point where he has over 40,000 points in this league, and I don’t think that’s going to be broken, especially in our lifetime.”
As the new NBA season approaches, all eyes will be on LeBron, not just for his game but for the story he continues to write in the books of basketball history.
