LeBron James<\/a> wants to remain in the present \u2014 he isn\u2019t focused on the future yet.<\/p>\n

The Los Angeles Lakers superstar enjoyed playing in his 22nd All-Star Game on Sunday night at the Intuit Dome for Team Stripes in the revamped format the league put in place this season.<\/p>\n

The media was curious if this wasn\u2019t just his final All-Star Game, but rather his final NBA<\/a> season, as the 41-year-old has yet to make a decision for the 2026-27 season.<\/p>\n

But, as he\u2019s said in the past, James doesn\u2019t know just yet what he wants to do.<\/p>\n

“I want to live,” he told reporters before playing in the game. “When I know, you guys will know. I don\u2019t know. I have no idea. I just want to live, that\u2019s all.”<\/p>\n

LEBRON JAMES ENDS HISTORIC 21-YEAR STREAK AFTER MISSING TOO MANY GAMES THIS SEASON<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

James was initially supposed to speak during Saturday\u2019s availability, but he called his own news conference on Sunday, prompting some to speculate that he was going to make a decision about his future.<\/p>\n

Instead, it was nothing of the sort.<\/p>\n

James\u2019 22 All-Star Game appearance is an NBA record that he continued on Sunday. While it\u2019s a given that he will be in the game every season he keeps playing, James does remain a high-impact player for the Lakers.<\/p>\n

This season, James has played in 36 games, averaging 22 points, 7.1 assists and 5.8 rebounds per game for the team in fifth place in the Western Conference.<\/p>\n

James, though, broke his streak of consecutive All-NBA Team appearances after 21 straight nominations after missing his 18th game this season. James won\u2019t qualify for the 65-game minimum needed to be considered for league awards, as per the collective bargaining agreement.<\/p>\n

For the first time since 2004, James won\u2019t be on any of those teams.<\/p>\n

James\u2019 legacy in the NBA needs no explaining. He owns multiple all-time records, including most points scored by a single player, which continues to increase by the game.<\/p>\n

And while it appears he can at least go one more season, speculation will continue to flourish as long as James doesn\u2019t give a definitive answer about his future. That speculation ranges from one more season with the Lakers, to a retirement tour with the Cleveland Cavaliers<\/a> \u2014 his hometown team he began his career with and won an NBA championship with.<\/p>\n

Until a decision is made, James looks forward to helping his Lakers reach the playoffs to chase another title in the City of Angels.<\/p>\n
