LeBron? The retiring type? We say no way ... at least not yet

But we've also never really heard any retirement talk from LeBron James before, so the Tuesday Newsletter Extravaganza explores some potential reasons why he went there after the Lakers' playoff exit
Marc, you're my favorite basketball writer so it's disappointing to see you lead with LeBron just like every other outlet. It's a good example of what's often wrong with coverage of #thisleague with all-star gossip/bs being prioritized over substance. The Nuggets were brilliant in this series and Jokic was transcendent, but everyone led with the LeBron news today. Y'all are getting played in the proces -- *of course* LBJ isn't going to retire, for the reasons you mention. (Equally awful: SI led with Melo's retirement over the Nuggets' sweep. GTFO.)
Tom Ziller stopped writing about Kyrie at one point, refusing to indulge in the nonsense. I wish more writers would do the same -- focus on the game, not the noise.
No- he just likes people to talk about him. He knew those comments would make us discuss his future. He still wants be apart of the talk even though his season is over.
