LeBron James is Aging Like Fine Wine!
LeBron James continues to do crazy shit on the court. It is crazy to think about how a player in his 22nd season can play at a high level. Leading the Lakers in their key wins.
You must mention the name LeBron James to talk about the NBA. Since 2003, LeBron James has taken over NBA discourse. He dominates the league and lives up to the "Chosen One" nickname. James is one of the greatest all-around players ever. His ability to drive to the rim, make great passes, and grab boards in season 22 is incredible. Fans of all kinds will never see another player who can dominate for this long. Bron has exceeded all expectations. He has become one of the greatest players ever. LeBron has continued to blow all expectations as he looks like a top-10 player so far into the season.
Even in year 22, LeBron continues to blow people's minds. Tonight, against Memphis, James became the oldest player to achieve three straight triple-doubles. It is crazy to see him still able to carry the team at the age of 39. With the amount of mileage on his body, one might think there would be signs of slowing down. But LeBron is not human; it feels like he is a machine that never seems to rust. His feel for the game has not missed a beat. James had to control the offense and guard the best player. Head Coach JJ Reddick decided to have a LeBron cruise this year. Giving him less responsibility on offense. Which LeBron hasn't done ever in his career. But even then, there have been games where LeBron has taken over.
One of the craziest games earlier this season was against the Sacramento Kings. LeBron was able to take it easy in the first three quarters, but once the fourth quarter came, he went ape shit. In the last three minutes of the game, it was a LeBron masterclass. Scoring 16 points in the last three minutes of the game was mind-blowing. James showed no signs that he was slowing down. Instead, he went out and showed that he is still an All-NBA player. A guy who can lead his team to win. Players who watched Bron growing up are witnessing him put up legendary performances. The longevity is crazy to think about. We will never see a player like LeBron James ever again when he decides to hang up his jersey.
LeBron James is one of the greatest players I have ever watched. My first NBA game was watching him win his second championship against the San Antonio Spurs. My love of basketball grew as he made eight straight trips to the NBA Finals. For two decades, James has been the most dominant player of all time. The NBA will never witness another player like this. Someone who came into the league with all expectations and exceeded them all. Earning the nickname "The King." Even in his 22nd season, LeBron still manages to average close to a triple-double. That is a crazy thing to register in people's minds. As many of LeBron's peers have retired from the game of basketball, Bron is continuing to make history. Which makes him one of the greatest to ever step on the court. Every night, LeBron James proves he is aging like fine wine. He keeps making amazing achievements on the court. The NBA will never see another LeBron James anytime soon!
