LOS ANGELES, United States — Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James, celebrating his 40th birthday on Monday, said he could play another five to seven years in the NBA at a high-caliber level — though he conceded he would probably retire before then.
The basketball superstar, speaking after a Lakers practice session, also said he plans to finish out his NBA career with the Lakers, and would not make a comeback after leaving the league — whenever that is.
