Despite LeBron James repeatedly hinting he might retire from the NBA this summer when the Lakers had their run through the NBA playoffs end with a sweep by the Denver Nuggets in the Western Conference Finals this week, it doesn’t seem like there are very many people who truly believe that is on the table.
