During an episode of The Arena, Rashad McCants discussed the greatness of James. While he didn't take anything away from his longevity, he's still "waiting for this s**t to be over with." He compared it to the Fast and Furious franchise, which is gearing up to release its 11th main installment (and 12th overall), titled Fast Forever.
"He definitely deserves everything, man," McCants said, before conceding, "I'm just waiting for this s**t to be over with. This is like Fast and Furious. It's like God d**n, we got another one? Vin Diesel? That car still moving, Vin Diesel?"
To be fair, James has been playing for a long time. If he decides to play in 2026, he will be entering his 24th year in the league. During his career, he has been to 10 NBA Finals, winning four, and is a four-time NBA MVP and 22-time All-Star (making it every year from 2005 to 2026).

As it stands, the Fast and Furious franchise has better odds of outlasting James' career. For one, the movies don't come out every year, whereas James has to play every year.

Plus, Fast Forever isn't even set to come out until Mar. 17, 2028. That will mark nearly five years between the last two installments of the series.
There are also opportunities for spin-offs within the Fast and Furious franchise. They have already released Hobbs & Shaw, a spin-off led by Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and Jason Statham.
James could always play until 2028, but that doesn't seem likely. He has done everything imaginable in his career, and he appears to be in the twilight of it.
