AlthoughLeBron Jamesis approaching his 38th birthday, he is still one of the best players in the NBA. But there's no doubt that he's entering the later stages of his career, and that his retirement might be coming in the next few years. Now the question is in which jersey.

Kevin Love was a teammate with LeBron on the Cavs. The two managed to win a championship together in the 2016 season.Love spoke recently with Bleacher Report’s and when he was asked about LeBron James potentially retiring as a Cavalier, Love claimed that he doesn't know where LeBron James' last game would be, but he did say that LeBron wants to have a "Kobe-type exit" where has a spectacular performance.

"Obviously, I know he wants to have a Kobe-type exit where he scores 60 and does his thing, which he probably will,” Love said. “Where it will be? Who the hell knows?”

In Kobe Bryant’s final NBA game in April 2016, the Lakers icon completed his legendary career in storybook fashion by scoring 60 points.

During his interview, Love indicated that it’s possible that James’ final game will be with the Cavs, a team he’s played for on two different occasions.

The fact that James is from Ohio and has such a huge connection with the Cavaliers makes that a possibility. More certain is the idea of James being immortalized with a statue, presumably outside of Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse, the Cavs’ current home.

On the other hand, basketball fans from Los Angeles believe that LeBron will end his career as a Laker, with another title, because even if he is no longer the same player as he was in his best years, he is still one of the best players who can help the Lakers return to the NBA throne as he did in 2020 when fans couldn’t enjoy the celebration to the fullest because the playoffs were played in a bubble in Orlando.
