Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James slammed the notion that championships are the most important thing to a player's legacy.

Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James hasn't confirmed if he'll return next season, but he may have just dropped a hint.

Los Angeles was bounced in five games by a younger, quicker, and more determined Timberwolves squad — and to make matters worse, James suffered a Grade 2 MCL sprain in his left knee that required surgery.

Though he has yet to make a firm commitment on his future with the Los Angeles Lakers, it seems like LeBron James is gearing up for his 23rd season. The Lakers superstar said in a recent interview with the Associated Press that his current focus is entirely on recovering from a knee injury he suffered in April.

In his 22nd season in the league, James led the Lakers to the playoffs, with the help of Los Angeles stars Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves. James helped lead the Lakers to the first round with a matchup against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Los Angeles eventually lost 4-1 in the first-round series.

The NBA superstar hasn't indicated any plans about when he'll retire from basketball, but one of his Lakers teammates has his thoughts on LeBron James' future.

As the offseason gets going, the biggest question around the Los Angeles Lakers remains what the future holds for star forward LeBron James. James is eligible to enter free agency by declining his player option for next season.

Kobe Bryant’s Former Teammate Sends Message to LeBron James on Tuesday originally appeared on Athlon Sports. On the latest " Mind the Game " episode, a fan asked Hall of Famer Steve Nash and Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James who the greatest defensive players they faced were.
