Bronny James makes bold statement on LeBron James' future after Lakers elimination

In the hours following the Los Angeles Lakers' playoff exit, attentions have turned to the future of LeBron James.

It's understandable. James just completed his record 23rd season, adding to his legacy as arguably the greatest player in NBA history. What's more, James has left his future open; he told reporters Monday night that he doesn't know what the future holds as he hits unrestricted free agency after the NBA Finals.

Few people might know James better than his son, Bronny. During his own media availability after the Lakers lost to the Oklahoma City Thunder, James' oldest son -- who played eight minutes in the four-game series -- said his father, 41, "could play another however many years."

Bronny James on LeBron:

“He looks like he could play another however many years. He’s been in the league longer than he’s been out of the league, so it’s insane. I think he should think about it, and whatever he feels happy with, he can do that.” https://t.co/57VxCLyPL3

"He’s been in the league longer than he’s been out of the league, so it’s insane," Bronny said. "I think he should think about it, and whatever he feels happy with, he can do that."

LeBron is keeping his cards close to his chest on this one. But seeing as he averaged 23.2 points per game and 7.3 assists across 10 playoff games in his age-41 season, it does feel like he has something left in the tank.
