For “King James” he knows the end of the road is near

With 22 years of NBA experience, LeBron James is one of the most outstanding athletes in the world. His dominance in the most competitive basketball league has allowed him to be considered the greatest player in the history of the sport, ahead of Michael Jordan, who currently holds that honor. The current Los Angeles Lakers player knows his retirement date and has expressed it.
LeBron James is aware that after more than two decades of career, the time to say “goodbye” is closer and it is a natural process for all athletes in the world regardless of age. “I’ll give you an example. Nowadays I’m going downhill, when a few years ago I was at the top. When I started my career I was on the other side of the hill and today I’m going downhill. I’m sure of that and it’s very normal for people to ask me about it,” said the Los Angeles Lakers forward in an interview on the Pat McAfee show.
“Obviously I know that I’m on the other side of the hill..
For me it’s all about my mind and I’m all about the process..
I will be able to tell when it’s a wrap” ~ @KingJames#PMSLive pic.twitter.com/VaXq0ZrCQ3

LeBron James’ NBA retirement date
When asked by the journalist, the Los Angeles Lakers star revealed the moment when he should retire from the NBA. “The date is very clear. For me, the day I have no motivation to go to training, when I no longer have the illusion of playing a game, when I do not even start to review the books of analysis, plays, strategies, that will be the moment when I retire from basketball,” said the four-time NBA champion.
Although it seems like a very open answer, the truth is that in the rest of his statements he knows that the road is shorter than the one he started in 2003, when he made his debut with the Cleveland Cavaliers. “It’s all a process and it’s all in the mind. I know I’m closer to retirement than when I started my career and when it happens I’ll say: ‘LeBron, this decision is personal,’” he said, alluding to the fact that neither the media nor the public will influence his decision.
“We’re getting close to the playoffs and it’s crunch time..
The connection is coming back with the fans” @KingJames #PMSLive pic.twitter.com/Nrnn8957Sj

LeBron James’ successful career with several NBA teams
As mentioned, he made his debut with the Cleveland team in 2003 and stayed for seven seasons without winning the title for the Cavaliers. In a media scandal, he was signed by the Miami Heat with whom he spent four seasons (2010 – 2014) and where he won two championships. He then returned to Cleveland where he won a title and realized the dream of giving that fan base an NBA title.
Finally, in 2018 he was traded to the Los Angeles Lakers and to date he remains a reference for the team where in 2020 he won his fourth title in his career. Although the Los Angeles management has allocated millions of dollars to accompany LeBron’s game, a new championship has not yet reached the Lakers’ showcase. Will there be time to see “King James” conquer his fifth NBA title with the Los Angeles Lakers?

Fearne has had a difficult few months after undergoing surgery to remove two benign tumours from her jawline, just days before her split with Jesse emerged.
She told host Lorraine: ‘It’s all very amicable and kids are doing great. I am in a very good place.’place.’

Discussing her recent surgery, she added: ‘I feel very grateful to have completely recovered.
‘I feel really good. I have a lot of people reaching out who have had the same thing.’
Davina McCall, 56, announced in November she’d been diagnosed with a colloid cyst, a rare type of benign brain tumour, and has supported Fearne.
She continued: ‘Everyone needs a Davina. She’s been amazing, weird that we had the same health thing going on at the same time. She’s so calming and we speak every day. She is just the best
It comes after Fearne has seemingly made another thinly-veiled dig at her ex-husband as she gushed that she is the happiest she’s ever been in a positive update.
Speaking to Scott Mills on his BBC Radio 2 breakfast show, Fearne gushed that she is ‘really happy’ and is ‘springing out of bed in the morning ready for life’.
Scott, who has known Fearne for 25 years, said he has never seen her ‘more positive or happier’, prompting Fearne to agree and reply: ‘Yeah I feel great!’
She told how her health scare has changed her outlook and said she has been seeking comfort from Davina.

‘I’m really happy and I think when you’ve had a health thing like that it does just give you this baseline gratitude where you just feel, you know I have talked to Davina a hell of a lot as our operations were within a month of each other which so weird,’ she continued.
‘We’ve had so many brilliant chats about yeah just feeling very grateful for the basics and sort of springing out of bed in the morning ready for life so yeah I’m feeling good I’ve got lots of exciting stuff happening this year so I’m ready for it!’
Reflecting on her health scare, Fearne said she is ‘massively grateful’ because she didn’t think the lump was anything to worry about, before learning it was a tumour.
‘I went for an ultrasound and it ended up being a tumour, which was obviously a big surprise,’ she explained.
‘Now I feel absolutely great I’m really grateful and you know go and get those lumps and bumps checked out if you’ve got them it’s really really important.
‘I really thought this is going to be a non-event and it ended up being you know major surgery, but I’m healthy and feeling great and just massively grateful.’
Fearne had the benign tumour removed just days before her split from her husband Jesse – who she shares her son Rex and daughter Honey with – emerged.
‘It is with a heavy heart that I let you all know that Jesse and I are ending our marriage,’ the radio host said in an online post at the time, saying their priority would ‘always be’ their children.
Fearne is also stepmother to Jesse’s children Arthur, 21, and Lola, 18, from his first marriage to Tilly Wood.
Jesse, 48, has since moved on his former actress and model, Gemma Gregory, 39, who now works in the wellness business and hosts the Happy Place podcast.
Meanwhile, Fearne is said to have been secretly dating TV director Elliot Hegarty since January.
Their romance emerged when they were seen passionately kissing on a night out in Soho before they walked hand-in-hand while accompanied by friends.
The single mother, 51, was said to be ‘totally shocked and devastated because she only knew that Elliot and Fearne were friends’ and a friend told the Mail: ‘It was an awful way for her to find out and it has been quite ghastly for her.’
Fearne recently spoke about wanting to have a ‘burst of fun’ and ‘go and get p***ed’ following the end of her marriage.

Speaking to Women’s Health UK, Fearne made a swipe at her ex-husband as she told how she has ‘missed out on having fun’.
She shared: ‘I’ve dedicated the past 12 years to being a mum and building Happy Place [the award-winning podcast and wellness festival Fearne launched in 2018] I still want to do all of that, but I’ve been missing out on just having fun.
‘Now I’m in my forties, I want more fun; to see mates, have lunches at my house and cook for everyone, go on little nights out and dinners and not care so much about getting back late.’
The couple had reportedly faced challenges for several years, with Fearne previously admitting that their marriage had been ‘suffering’ as far back as 2019.
Speaking at the time, Fearne said Jesse’s demanding schedule with his band Reef had put a strain on their relationship which left them desperately ‘clinging onto their marriage’ in an unearthed interview.
Fearne and Jesse tied the knot in July 2014 three years after they started dating. They met while partying in Ibiza the year after his split from his first wife Tilly.
