He had the first on Tuesday. Tonight he had 21-9-8. I think most records will be broken but I really don't see his longevity being matched for decades. Dude is unreal

On 21st seasons

Dirk started 20 games and averaged 7 points on 36%

KG started 38 games and averaged 3 points

Willis played 5 games( started 0) averaged 2 points

Parish started 3 games and averaged 4 points

Vince Carter started 9 games and averaged 7 points

Lebron will probably average 21-25 points this season and it's an absolute joke compared to what came before him

Truly unbelievable.

Let's not forget Kareem here. At Lebron's current age of 38 (obviously he could not enter the draft early back then) he averaged 23.4ppg and at age 41 in his 21st professional season he still racked up 10ppg

A shame that Kareem couldn’t have gone straight to the NBA from high school. He easily had the abilities to be able to do it even in that era.

The age comparison is interesting, but LeBron’s age 38 season was last season when he averaged 28.9. If you want to compare age 37 seasons, LeBron averaged 30.3 to Kareem’s 22. What Kareem did was impressive, but it’s really nothing compared to what LeBron is doing at the same age. LeBron is also averaging more boards and almost double the assists while providing all that scoring production.

Weird omission of Kareem who did similar

[–] Finn_Survivor@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

He played 20 seasons

Now do the math on what Kareem’s stats would’ve been if instead of doing 4 years in college, he went straight to the pros or went for only 1 year.

You can't do that math because he didn't do it. The fatigue of a college season is a lot less than the NBA.

Age plays a bigger role than fatigue.

Mileage plays a huge role.
