LeBron James said that there was one thing that made the Lakers' defense even worse in the team's loss to the Mavericks on Tuesday.

Still, speculation about his eventual retirement has followed James throughout the latter portion of his career, both before and after the Lakers selected his son, Bronny, in the second round and the pair made father-son NBA history by being the first to appear in the same game.

After falling behind by 22 points in first half, the Lakers have a chance to force overtime but a turnover on an inbound play costs them their chance.
