LeBron James Returns to the Lakers for His 23rd NBA Season

LeBron is a legend in NBA history, having won several titles as a professional basketball player.

The small forward is also considered the greatest basketball player of all time by fans and pundits.

LeBron James will activate his $52.6 million player option with the Lakers and return for his 23rd NBA season, according to ESPN, via Sportal.

Despite stating at the end of last season that he would consider his future, his decision to continue was widely expected. "King James" will wear the Lakers jersey for another year, extending his legendary career.

Now 40, James is expected to face renewed questions about potential retirement at the end of the season as he nears the end of his illustrious career.
