Iman Shumpert thinks LeBron James should end his legendary career where it began. The former Cleveland Cavaliers guard told TMZ Sports at LAX airport that James returning to Cleveland for his final NBA season would be the "coolest story."
Shumpert played alongside James for four years in Cleveland from 2015 to 2018. Together, they helped the Cavaliers win their first NBA championship in 2016, breaking a 52-year title drought for the city.
James, now 39 and in his 21st NBA season, currently plays for the Los Angeles Lakers. Earlier reports suggested James might take a reduced role with the Lakers to help the team build a stronger roster around him.
The NBA world remains uncertain about James' future plans. He has not announced when he plans to retire or where he wants to finish his career. James began his NBA journey with Cleveland in 2003 before leaving for Miami in 2010, then returning to the Cavaliers in 2014.
LeBron James is nearing the end of his career, and where he plays his final season matters to millions of basketball fans. A return to Cleveland would complete a full-circle story for the NBA's all-time leading scorer.
