LeBron James talked about his future in the NBA after the win over the Brooklyn Nets.
There's not much time left, I'm not going to play another 21 years, that's absolutely certain. But not for long. I don't know when that door will close as far as a retirement date. But I don't have much time left.
"No mucho tiempo... No voy a jugar otros 21 años, eso es seguro... No sé cuándo se cerrará esa puerta... Pero no me queda mucho tiempo".

The NBA continues
One of the best basketball leagues in the world brings us a duel between two teams that live very different realities. Los Angeles Lakers are in eighth place in the Western Conference with 42 wins and 33 losses, fighting for a place in the Playoffs. On the other hand, Toronto Raptors are at the bottom of the Western Conference in twelfth place with 23 wins and 51 losses with very little chance of getting into the Playoffs. This duel seems very close, but there could be big surprises.
