And for good reasons, it seems. Cuban and James have been involved in many wars over the years, with Cuban\u2019s Mavericks being one of James\u2019 biggest rivals.<\/p>\n<p>In the same spirit, the billionaire thinks it\u2019s time for the 39-year-old James to call it a day. In a lighthearted interview with TMZ Sports,\u00a0Mark Cuban\u00a0spoke about LeBron playing with his son\u00a0<strong>Bronny James<\/strong>\u00a0as he enters his 22nd NBA season.<\/p>\n<p>During the interview, Cuban jokingly remarked that it is time for the Lakers forward to retire from the NBA because the Mavericks owner is \u2018tired\u2019 of the ageless wonder.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\">\n<blockquote><p><em>LeBron it\u2019s time for you to quit, I\u2019m tired of you\u2026 because he\u2019s still so good you know. He\u2019s on the Lakers our rival, so it\u2019s time to retire LeBron<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p><cite>Mark Cuban remarked (via\u00a0yardbreaker)<\/cite><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/figure>\n<p>While Cuban made these comments with no ill intentions, there is perhaps a hint of truth behind them. Entering his 22nd NBA season, James is still one of the most dominant forces in the league. The 20x All-Star finished the season averaging elite numbers, with 25.7 points, 8.3 assists, and 7.3 rebounds in 71 games in the 2023-24 NBA season.<\/p>\n<p>Cuban, of course, has seen this prolonged dominance better than almost anyone. His Mavericks denied\u00a0LeBron James\u00a0his first NBA title in 2011, defeating the Miami Heat to hoist the Larry O\u2019Brien. Since then, the two have maintained a close relationship, even considering the idea of partnering up for off-court business.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-mark-cuban-hints-at-partnership-with-lebron\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Mark Cuban hints at partnership with LeBron<\/h2>\n<p>In a recent interview with\u00a0<strong>Shaquille O\u2019Neal<\/strong>\u00a0on \u2018The Big Podcast with Shaq,\u2019 Mark Cuban hinted at the possibility of owning an NBA team alongside Shaq and LeBron. After selling off a majority stake in the Mavericks last year, Cuban revealed that he remains open to the idea of owning an NBA franchise down the line.<\/p>\n<p>Cuban told Shaq that he would consider \u2018making a comeback\u2019 to ownership if the deal included\u00a0partnering up\u00a0with Shaq and LeBron. James has also made\u00a0his intentions\u00a0to eventually open and run a Las Vegas-based NBA franchise very clear.<\/p>\n<div class=\"single-post\">\n<section class=\"section-intro\">\n<div class=\"selfie-and-desc\">\n<div class=\"desc\">\n<p>Connecting these dots, it wouldn\u2019t be a surprise to see the duo of Cuban and LeBron owning an NBA franchise together.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mark Cuban revealed his thoughts about LeBron James&#8217; longevity, calling for the Lakers superstar to close the curtains on his playing career.
