His full-season 2P FG% career high is 62.2% for the 2013-2014 Heat. If he continues at this pace, it would be the best mark over a single season for anyone shooting more than 10 2P attempts in a season.

He's also shooting almost 40% from 3, with a mind-boggling TS% of 67%. And for one more ridiculous stat – his current +/- on-off per 100 possessions is a bonkers +24.6, which would also be a career high and 2nd highest all time. The man is ageless.

Like i hate to say this but Lebron is on some serious juice. I swear hes driving to the basket more often than a few years ago. Put him on a bike and he would win "Tour de France"

Unc’s been cookin but I really want the Lakers to not need him for 40 minutes a night to win games.

He's been averaging the 2nd fewest minutes per game of any season in his career so far and has already sat out a game for rest. This narrative that he's playing big minutes is false.

Just unreal what he’s doing.

Him and Djokovic truly destroying the narrative about athletes declining past 30. Shoutout KD and Steph too.

They all take care of their bodies. Bryan Johnson(who is currently the #1 'rejuvenation athlete') has name dropped Bron, Djokovic, Steve Aoki, and Brady as people who follow similar protocols. It includes everything from diet, excercise, and sleep and obviously has proven results.

They understand health comes before everything.

Will be watching lebron play for the first time in February. Didn’t watch basketball during his prime years but still glad I get to watch him before he is labeled washed.

His plus minus is not surprising at all. Once he checks in, especially in the 4th, the Lakers have some semblance of an efficient offense. He is able to generate so many open looks for his teammates with his drive and kicks. He's also averaging 9.2 points per 4th quarter and leading in 4th quarter scoring points.

how is a 39 year old man driving and kicking

this makes zero sense

Fourth quarter offence is really just LeGravity X LeiQ

lebron is top 5 all time. MJ, Kareem, Magic, Kobe, Lebron.

While KD and Curry are performing at elite level still, LeBron is still a consistently great all around 2 way threat. That's what still surprises me.
