Then, text fills the screen, reading “The Second Decision. Coming soon.” <\/p>\n The decision of all decisions.

During media day, James \u2014\u00a0who will undoubtedly go down as one of if not the greatest player to play the game \u2014 refused to say whether he was planning on returning next season.<\/p>\n However, it is unlikely that James would announce his intent to retire before the season based on what he’s recently said about the subject.<\/p>\n “For me, it’s just, am I still excited about the process? Do I still get motivated about the process every single year?” James told ESPN last week<\/a>. “Preparing my body. Preparing my mind. Working on my body, training, things of that nature, to get ready for a full season.<\/p>\n “I think once I kind of fall out of love with the process, then I’ll know for sure. Then, it’d probably be the end for me.<\/p>\n So, what was James’ post all about? National NBA insider for Clutch Points Brett Siegel<\/a> might have an idea.<\/p>\n James signed a multi-year deal with Amazon’s podcast network<\/a> earlier this year and recently starred in an Amazon commercial referencing his potential retirement<\/a>. On Oct. 7, Amazon is running a sale called Prime Big Deal Days, a massive discounted shopping event for Amazon members.<\/p>\n For those wondering, LeBron James has a big deal with Amazon, and Prime Day starts tomorrow.<\/p>\n Not a coincidence. https:\/\/t.co\/yPHD2Ut6La<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Brett Siegel (@BrettSiegelNBA) October 6, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n Siegel said he thought the coinciding dates of James’ announcement was no coincidence, and his intuition will likely be proven correct on Tuesday.<\/p>\n For more news and notes on the Los Angeles Lakers, visit\u00a0Los Angeles Lakers on SI<\/a>.<\/p>\n
