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.
