LeBron James has a true shooting of 67.1%, second highest in the league. Curry has 68.5%.

LeBron turns 39 in a month. He leads the league in 4th quarter points per game and 4th quarter plus minus.

Curry turns 36 in a few months, he is averaging 30/5/4 on 48/45/93 splits.

They are both the backbone of their team. LeBron is leading the Lakers in points, assists, field goal percentage and plus minus. He is second in rebounds, blocks, steals and 3 point percentage. Curry is leading the Warriors in points, Klay is second with just 14.4 ppg with 40/34/88 splits.

The old guard is still at the top of the league. LeBron, Curry and KD are all top 10 still, their impact still undeniable. These 3 might just average 20+ ppg into their 40s. Crazy to think how a guy known for his shitty ankles, a guy known for his lanky frame and a guy best known for athleticism have a case for the 3 players with the best longevity.

At his current pace he’ll break his old record as long as he plays 74 games. He’s actually had a few seasons where he hit the same or more threes per game as he did when he put up 402. But he played 79 games that season. He hasn’t played 70 games in a season since he was 28. So tbh I doubt he’ll break it.
