For many diehard James fans, 52 percent is far too high.
They don’t want to live in a world where James isn’t playing basketball, and they are hoping they get at least a few more seasons of him in the league.
There is a lot of speculation about this upcoming decision, with some believing it’ll be an ad or announcement of an endorsement deal.
James has worked with many companies throughout his career, including Amazon.
That’s important to note because Amazon has special Prime deals this week, and many analysts think that James’ announcement will have something to do with that.
Regardless of what it is, James has just performed some masterful marketing because everyone is now paying attention.
The fact that people instantly started talking about James’ retirement shows just how much this is on the minds of all basketball fans.
Everyone knows that his final season is approaching, even if it’s not this year.
James will be 41 years old this season, and even though he is still posting nearly 25 points per game, there is no doubt he’s reaching the end of his career.
The internet was caught off guard by James’ announcement on Monday, and now everyone will be tuning in on Tuesday.
