LeBron James is widely considered one of the greatest athletes we’ve ever seen. Being one of the most versatile and durable players in league history, Bron has been able to rack up one of the most decorated resumes that enables him to compete with the likes of Michael Jordan and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar for the famous GOAT debate.
The King is easily one of the most accomplished superstars. A few accolades from his overly-stacked trophy cabinet include 18 All-Star appearances, 18 All-NBA selections, 1 scoring title, 4 MVPs, 4 championships, and 4 Finals MVPs, among many others.
Apart from being an insanely skillful maestro, James’ incredible longevity has also allowed him to be the generational player we all know him as today. Having defeated the infamous father time, Bron is still putting up MVP numbers.
Talking about his longevity, LBJ will be entering his 20th professional campaign. Also, the future first-ballot Hall-Of-Famer has spent more than half his life as an NBA player.

LBJ averaged a staggering 30.3/8.2/6.2 this past campaign and is certainly showing no signs of slowing down anytime soon. It’ll be very interesting to see how much more gas King James has left in his tank.
