All-Star forward LeBron James of the Los Angeles Lakers has fanned the flames. His recently released, cryptic social media post titled “The Second Decision” has fans and analysts alike buzzing with wild speculation. This enigmatic message has caused a significant surge in ticket prices for the Lakers’ final home game of the 2025-26 regular season against the Utah Jazz, scheduled for April 12, 2026, at Crypto.com Arena.
Since James’ post went viral, ticket prices have soared. Before the announcement, the lowest-cost ticket was $82. But after the news of the post went viral, music fans are now looking at an almost unfathomable lowest price of $760 for two tickets. Single tickets have gone up even more dramatically, with single tickets starting $580 a pop.
LeBron James preparing for his NBA-record 23rd season. At 40 years old, he’s doing it to boot in what will be his eighth season with the Lakers. Speculation about his possible retirement has continued to build since that post. During the NBA media days last week, he put those retirement rumors to rest. Rather than focus on those questions, he stated his eagerness for the 2023 campaign in clear terms.
“I’m excited about the opportunity to be able to play the game that I love for another season,” – LeBron James
Despite his age, James expressed pride in his performance and longevity in the league. He admitted that not many players have continued to play at this level at this point of their career.
“It’s pretty cool to know how many miles I’ve got and still be able to play at a high level,” – LeBron James
James further conveyed his dedication to the craft with his deep run as he heads towards what many predict will be his last season. He stated, “I’m super-invested because I don’t know when the end is.” His passion for basketball is evident in this quote. He is not sure how much longer he will be able to stay away from the sport.
