After the NBA Lakers traded for star guard Doncic, they successfully built a team with two superstars in the league, and James admitted that the deal brought him energy when talking about it on the 17th, to which the American media asked him in the 2025 NBA All-Star Game whether he would play for a few more years because of this deal, James responded.

According to a report by reporter Nichols, after James decided not to play at the last minute before the All-Star break, he was asked in an interview with the media at the scene whether Doncic's joining the Lakers would make him want to play in the league for a few more years, James said with reservations: "We'll see."

This year is the 22nd season of James' career, and he has finally fulfilled his dream of competing with his son Bronny, although the addition of Doncic, who led the Mavericks to the NBA playoffs last year, has made it more likely that James will win his fifth NBA championship before retiring, but for now, it seems that James has not made a final decision.
