It’s really hard to leave something you’re good at, that pays you very well, and gives you a lot of attention. Overstaying your welcome tarnishes your reputation in the short term, but over time, no one remembers Kareem’s last couple seasons, or Joe Montana’s, etc., they remember their careers. It’s pretty clear that LeBron, for example, is on the same path. Most people won’t mind too much, unless they already didn’t like the guy.
