One of the great writers who follows the NBA, Russ Benston, once said that one day Lebron James will also retire and officially enter the ranks of American professional basketball legends. “It turns out, Lebron will have time like any other name and he will retire sooner than we want”, this moment was posted on December 30.12.2014, 30 on the occasion of his XNUMXth birthday. by James.

Going back 9 years ago, when all speculations were that James would soon retire, but no one would have thought that since reaching the 30-year-old mark, James’s “maturity” would truly come. He scored more points in a season with average scoring than both Sam Jones and Tim Hardaway throughout the Hall of Fame.

That’s not to mention more than 4.600 rebounds and 4.600 assists, nearly 750 steals and 400 blocks, numbers that may be almost “unprecedented”. Moreover, Lebron James has 9 All-Star appearances, 9 NBA votes, season MVP, 5 NBA Finals appearances, 2 NBA championships, 2 Finals MVP titles…

9 years later, we still see a persistent and enthusiastic James every time he takes the field. Currently, this player has scored more points than any player in NBA history. The superstar born in 1984 ranks in the top 5 of all time in assists and top 10 in steals. With his achievements, James has the right to be proud that at the age of 39 he is still diligently playing on the field and accumulating individual and team titles.

Nearly midway through his 21st season, Lebron is still playing like a top 10 player, averaging more than 25 points, 7 rebounds, and 7 assists per game. These numbers prove that there is no argument about the title of greatest basketball player for James.
