LeBron James is not certain on his plans for next season as the NBA great weighs up whether to continue.

James is playing in his 23rd consecutive campaign in the NBA, though it is not yet clear if he will make it 24.

The 41-year-old is averaging 22 points per game for the Los Angeles Lakers this season, while last week, he became the oldest player in NBA history to record a triple-double.

James is off contract at the end of the season, and as of yet, he has no firm plans for the future.

"Yeah, I mean, I want to live," James said prior to taking part in Sunday's All-Star game.

"When I know, you guys will know. I don't know. I have no idea.

"I just want to live, that's all.

"No, it's [not about me]. It's gearing up towards the postseason, so it has nothing to do with that. It's the same. Same motivation. Same mind factor. We've got past the marathon, and now the sprint is about to start."

James was also asked about the Lakers' hopes for the rest of the season.

They sit fifth in the Western Conference with a 33-21 record.

"I know that when we've played some of our best basketball this season, we look very good," James said.

"On the other side, when we've been terrible, we've looked disgusting.

"I think the most important [thing] is if we can get healthy, how many minutes we could be on the floor, how much chemistry we can build with the sprint starting.

"You would hope that you can have the regular season and kind of build that cohesiveness and things of that nature, but I'm hoping that if we can get healthy, that we can start to build that."
