LeBron James Reveals How He Wants to Be Remembered After Retirement

LeBron James’ career is coming to an end. At 41 years old, it is clear that whether James retires this year or next season, we don’t have much more time to watch LeBron James play professional basketball. 

If LeBron retired today, he would already be considered one of the greatest three players of all time. LeBron may be the most hyped prospect to come out of High School in NBA history, and not only did he live up to every bit of hype that surrounded him, but he also exceeded it. 

So, how does LeBron want to be remembered when it is all said and done? LeBron revealed what he hopes is his legacy once he decides to retire. 

“Listen, I’ve dedicated to this sport. I’ve never cheated the game. I’ve showed up every day on time. I’ve put my work in both on the court, off the court. Just showed grace. That’s what it’s about. I’ve just wanted to maximize and squeeze everything I could out of the game because I understood what it gave me, my family and everything. So I was never going to disrespect the game gods. Hopefully there are some highlights in there between my years I’ve played this game. But I never cheated the game. Ever.”

For all the things you could criticize LeBron James for, cheating the game is not one of them. LeBron has always put his best effort on the court, put in the work off the court, and been a perfect role model on how you should take care of your body for a long and successful basketball career. LeBron will go down in history not only as one of the greatest basketball players ever, but also as someone who did it the right way.
