In fact, in the 2023-24 season, there will be not one but three head coaches working in the American professional basketball league who are younger than LeBron James.
In terms of age and years of playing in the NBA, LeBron James is really old. He is about to turn 39 at the end of December and has been competing continuously since 2003 until now.
But when looking at his performance and statistics, perhaps no one would think that the Los Angeles Lakers superstar is playing the 21st season of his basketball career.
LeBron James is still bombarding the NBA in his 21st year of competition, preparing to turn 39 years old
LeBron James is scoring 25.7 points with 8.1 rebounds and 6.7 assists per game. His average time on the court is nearly 34 minutes, an unbelievably high number compared to other players who have reached their 21st season playing in the NBA.
Last week, James just created a historic milestone with his 39,000th score at Regular Season, continuing to break the all-time scoring record that he himself holds.
“Being the first to conquer something always feels special. This tournament has many excellent scoring players and legends, I feel very honored with this milestone ,” said the Lakers superstar.
