The Los Angeles Lakers have been up and down this season.
While they still have a winning record, J.J. Redick’s team hasn’t looked good against top-notch competition.
Some of that has had to do with LeBron James’ recent struggles.
The legendary forward has struggled with his shot lately, and it seems Father Time might finally catch up with him.
Former All-Star Jeff Teague believes this will be the end of the road for James.
In his Club 520 Podcast, the former Atlanta Hawks guard claimed that James has nothing to prove in this league (via ClutchPoints).
"To me, I ain't gonna lie, I think [LeBron James] might retire after this year. I think he probably got a documentary going right now… He got Bronny in the league and now it's time to move on."

James could still be an impactful player for the next few years or so.
Then again, he’s claimed that he won’t play until the wheels fall off, so he’s likely looking to walk away on his own terms.
Also, averaging 22 points, eight rebounds, and nine assists would be a career year for most NBA players, and that speaks volumes about the insane standards people have set for James – himself included.
James has accomplished everything he’s set his mind to in the league.
If someone doesn’t think he’s the GOAT, he cannot do much to change their mind.
It’s been a great ride, but it might be time to call it quits.
