After the Los Angeles Lakers crushing overtime loss to the Atlanta Hawks on Friday night, star LeBron James opened some eyes with his comments. Once again, the veteran spoke about his upcoming retirement plans very openly.

The longtime star gave more insight into his timeline.

"Just go out there and play the game the right way, compete at a high level and leave it all out on the floor every time that I go out there. My time is very limited on how long I'll play so I'm just happy to still be able to play the game that I love."

James has hinted at retirement in each of the last few seasons but the reality is that his time in the NBA will be coming to an end soon. The Lakers star is in year 22 of his NBA career and has put together one of the most impressive runs in sports history.
