LeBron James’ longevity in the NBA amazes peers and fans alike.

In his 21st season in the league, he is more dominant than ever, pocketing the debut IST title as well as taking home the MVP title.

However, according to a recent post that Bron shared on X, he seems unsatisfied with the NBA rules that make a player eligible to be inducted into the Hall of Fame only after retirement.

The disparity between players
In the post, the 19x All-NBA star wrote, “Why do players have to be retired before going into the HOF??

Coaches get in while still coaching rightfully so.

Wondering what’s the difference though.”

NBA rules dictate that a player must be completely retired for four complete seasons.

Only in the fifth year of retirement does the player become eligible for the HOF.

While coaches, are eligible while serving, and to Bron, this does not make any sense, as he suggests that players shouldn’t have to be retired to be inducted into the HOF.

Why do players have to be retired before going into the HOF?? Coaches get in while still coaching rightfully so. Wondering what’s the difference though🧐
