re: When all is said and done: does Lebron have O/U 6 rings?

Lebron also has a lot of mileage on his body. He's played almost 30,000 minutes in the NBA.

He's played about 34.5k minutes in the NBA. You're forgetting his playoff minutes.

If you look at past history, it's pretty rare for players to play at a high level after logging 40000 minutes. Karl Malone and Kareem are pretty much the only ones not to have a steep decline in their play after logging 40,000 minutes. So Lebron will probably start to decline a lot earlier than we think.

I think the 40k thing is pretty stupid. Most players that have reached 40k minutes haven't done so until their mid 30s. It shouldn't be surprising that most players start to fall off then.
