Following the 4th time that LeBron James has been swept in the playoffs, he remained noncommittal about his future
BetOnline has him favored to keep playing next season, but where?
LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers were swept in the Second Round by the Oklahoma City Thunder.
This was the fourth time that James has been swept in the playoffs. Not too bad for a 23-year career.
Game 4 ended in a 115-110 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder.
LeBron was noncommittal afterward about whether he will continue playing in L.A. -- or elsewhere.
"I think you guys asked me about [retirement], and I've answered questions. I don't think I've come out and been like, 'Oh, retirement is coming,'" James said. "With my future, I don't know, honestly. It's, obviously it's still fresh from, obviously losing [the series]. And I don't know. I don't know what the future holds for me."
Those remarks haven't stopped the oddsmakers at BetOnline.ag from speculating with some props on the NBA’s all-time leading scorer’s future.
They have him favored to keep playing at -450 but not with the LA Lakers.
