3 prediction markets price this story:
- Before the start of the 2026-27 regular season — resolved “No” on 20 Oct 2026. The market resolves to Yes if LeBron James announces his retirement before the start of the 2026-27 NBA regular season. It resolves to No if he does not make such an announcement by that date. Readers often mistake the linked ESPN article as the official confirmation, but only a direct retirement announcement from James counts.
- Before the 2027-28 season — the market puts it at 39%, with $100 traded in the last 24 hours, closing 15 Nov 2027. The outcome is Yes if LeBron James officially announces his retirement from the NBA before the start of the 2027-28 season. The outcome is No if he does not make such an announcement by that deadline. Readers often mistake news reports or rumors for an official retirement announcement.
- Will LeBron James win the 2028 Democratic presidential nomination? — the market puts it at 0%, with $1k traded in the last 24 hours, closing 8 Nov 2028. The market resolves to “Yes” if LeBron James wins and accepts the 2028 Democratic presidential nomination, as confirmed by official Democratic Party sources. It resolves to “No” in all other cases, including if he is replaced before election day. Readers often mistakenly believe that news about his basketball career or any informal political statements affect the outcome.
Odds are the market's probability that the outcome happens, updated every few minutes. They are information about what traders expect, not a forecast we make and not investment advice.
