The oldest player in the league today is LeBron James. The Lakers superstar continues to break longevity records, while a new statistic further confirms the rarity of the event, and is enough to make even his friends look old.
At 39 years old, LeBron James became the oldest player in the league following the retirement of Udonis Haslem.
However, the King continues to shine and shows almost no signs of fatigue, although his Lakers team is not in the position expected by many, who are 10th in the West.
The four-time MVP has almost nothing to envy of the younger players around him.
With his 24.1 points, 7.2 rebounds and 7.5 assists on average, he remains an essential element in his squad and sometimes competes with certain MVP candidates.
We would even almost have the impression of going back two decades, as the winger is so impressive.
Especially since a new statistic testifying to its longevity and making the performance even more astonishing has been disclosed.
LeBron James, the one who has experienced almost everything in the NBA
LeBron James played against 35% of players during his 21-year NBA career. 🤯Just Incredible!
In his 21-year career, LeBron has been able to play against some of the greatest legends from different eras.
Often put in opposition to Kobe Bryant by the media during the 2000s, he also became the rival of Kevin Durant and Stephen Curry several years later.
In short, the talent of the Chosen One and his consistency have allowed him to cross the ages and remain efficient throughout this time.
Drafted first in 2003 by the Cavs, he was even able to face several players from the same family but from different generations.
Because in fact, the latter confronted the fathers and sons of some, like Jalen Brunson and Rick Brunson, Gary Payton and his offspring of the same name and still others. If this surprises some, rest assured because the former Cavs is just as speechless.
Dude WHAT!!!!! It’s crazy!!!
Having spent 21 years of his life in the league, LeBron James has seen almost it all. It got to the point where he was able to compete against more than a third of the players in history, something that surprised many fans, as well as the four-time champion.
