LeBron James added more hardware to his already overwhelming showcase of accolades during the 2023 ESPY Awards—but he also made it clear that he's still got more to give on the court.
James was awarded Best Record-Breaking Performance for surpassing Kareem Abdul-Jabbar for an NBA career scoring record last season, with his family on stage to present the trophy.During his speech, James thanked his sons Bronny and Bryce, his daughter Zhuri and his wife Savannah. He also thanked all of his teammates and mentors and, of course, the fans.
"When the season ended, I said I wasn't sure if I was going to keep playing, and I know a lot of experts told you, guys, what I said, but I'm here now speaking for myself," James said."In that moment, I'm asking myself if I can still play without cheating the game. Can I give everything to the game still? Truth is, I've been asking myself this question at the end of the season for a couple years now.
Ramping up to a suspenseful answer to that question, James made his future, at least for the upcoming season, clear. James said seeing his sons play basketball and the love and fire they have for the game continue to fuel him—and he's got plenty left in the tank.Watch live and local news any time:
