I honestly think he's going to put up 40k points/10k rebounds/10k assists by the end of his career

Early 50's is a fair guess

He's likely passed the halfway portion of his career but I'd venture he still has at least 5-7 of top 10 player basketball

Big heavy men usually have shorter careers. Lebron also logs a lot of minutes.

On the other hand he is a genetic freak so who knows.

I think in the next 3-4 years he will stop playing at the rim especially now that his post game has taken a step forward.

he's been lucky not to get hurt 10 years in and miss any large chunk of time.

It's hard to believe LeBron is already 28 and this is his 10th season.. and we're already having threads like this. It seems like just yesterday watching his high school games on ESPN. Was that really 2003?

I remember the hummer controversy on an episode of ESPN's show called "The Life."

Who's out there to really challenge him? Durant and who else?

Plus he's a genetic freak who is still athletic. Probably a good five more years before we even start talking about him slowing down/losing a step/etc.

At around 30-32 I think he'll change his game in to more of Jason Kidd and he'll still be an MVP candidate

Lebron does make some violent movements on the court. He plants hard and explodes to the rim. But his game has slowed down, and he relies on his skill most of the time rather than his raw physical ability. As he gets older he won't have to really on pressing the beast mode button to get the job done on the court.


Something else to think about;
Kobe at age 36 is more athletically explosive than MJ was at that age, thanks to the increase in sports medicine prevention and rehab techniques. In 7 or 8 yrs Lebron could be playing like a 32 yr old instead of a 35 yr old.

I think he can be elite until at least 35.
