know we live to hate on Lebron James here, but has a player ever lived up to the hype places on him from such a young age?

Probably a bit of that and drafting kids out of high school was still rare. Before Garnett in 95, you had to go back to 1975 to find a team taking a chance on someone fresh out of high school (Darryl Dawkins, Bill willoughby)
eta: I guess you can count Kemp since he never played in college but he was a year removed from hs before going pro

The only one limping away is father time.
LeBron James vs. notable NBA players in the age-39 season
Via Stathead (age is decided by a player's age before Feb. 1 of that season.)
LeBron James 2023-24 25.1 ppg, 7.6 rpg, 7.4 apg
Karl Malone 2002-03 20.6 ppg, 7.8 rpg, 4.7 apg
Michael Jordan 2002-03 20.0 ppg, 6.1 rpg, 3.8 apg
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar 1986-87 17.5 ppg, 6.7 rpg, 2.6 apg
Reggie Miller 2004-05 14.8 ppg, 2.4 rpg, 2.2 apg
John Stockton 2001-02 13.4 ppg, 8.2 apg, 3.2 RPG
Robert Parish 1992-93 12.6 ppg, 9.4 rpg, 1.4 bpg
Dirk Nowitzki 2017-18 12.0 ppg, 5.7 rpg, 1.6 apg
Grant Hill 2011-12 10.2 ppg, 3.5 rpg, 2.2 apg
Tim Duncan 2015-16 8.6 ppg, 7.3 rpg, 2.7 apg
By the way, King James just shot a career-high 41.3 percent shooting from 3-point land in his 39th year.

So if Lebron plays at age 46 and scores 2 pts, he has more points than all players combined in history? What a useful stats.

Cute stat now do it by age.
Yep.
LeBron was in the right window to jump straight from HS rather than be forced to attend between 1-3 years of college first.
A lot of other guys who could have done so had a lot more wear on the tires as a result.

I look forward to seeing his greatness in action tonight. What channel is carrying the Fakers game?

He did. But deep down he can’t catch up to MJ’s legacy, and he’s trying to fill the void with stats at this point. Lebron fans know this too. That’s why they try to shove these stats down our throats because that’s all they can do.

The human body is also capable of less as you age.
21 seasons at age 40 (drafted at 18) is different from 21 seasons at age 43-44 (drafted around 21-22).

Considering all the “rejuvenation treatments” he gets every offseason? He probably sticks around until he has something pop which is a career-ender, like Kobe and his Achilles.
He really should be wrapping it up but I see him sticking around until he physically can’t make it on the floor anymore.

Are you ignoring the age 39 stats posted on page 2?
Posted on 5/7/24 at 11:04 am to lsupride87
Probably the most physically gifted ever but with the softest attitude attached

Lebron is the leader by age as well by a good margin.

I don’t like LeBron. He’s a hypocrite, self-important, try hard who can’t be coached and has probably caused himself to miss out on championships because of his big headedness.
But you have to be impressed by his longevity and accomplishments in the NBA.
Now it’s not all natural, but at least he’s aging forward instead of in reverse like Tom Brady.
