Lebron James Longevity

When do you think Lebron's talent start to decline and not be an MVP candidate? I think at about age 32 he won't be in the MVP discussion anymore

Hgh improves every year
So I would say 40

It's a really good question.
The way he's developed his post game, he can likely extend being in the discussion to his mid 30s.

It's not unrealistic to think he could continue to produce at a high level and be the face of a team into his mid-30s, I think. After that it gets a little dicier and depends upon the sort of medical care he'd have available. Obviously he'd have the best, I more mean in terms of what medicine develops over the next 5-6 years.

this is probably his last season for real MVP contention.

if he keeps working on his post game he could easily still be an elite player at 35. the mvp discussion part depends on how good of a team he is on at that age

25-8-7 player to 35 at least

His athleticism will start to decline in the next few years but that may not be immediately obvious to most because his starting point is so remarkable. So yes, there's a limited period of time when he will be able to run the floor like he does today. If he is able to refine his post up game he could be a MVP candidate into maybe his mid 30s but I think by then Kevin Durant and probably others will have passed him by as superior players

49, and even then the board will still talk daily about Lebron vs Kobe

He is 28 and he's still improving. Moreover, he doesn't appear to have lost any athleticism whatsoever. I can't reasonably foresee a drop-off in his game within the next five years.
