Gotta give it up to Lebron. Doing this at age 36 is impressive. The only other player I can think of being this good still at that age is Karl Malone. And to think it's not outside the realm of possibility for him to keep this work rate up for at least the next 2-3 years seems crazy.

What LeBron has done during his career really is incredible. He's not only met all expectations, he's surpassed them. He has a legit shot at finishing as the leagues all time leading scorer. And should become the only player with 10,000 reb's & 10,000 ast's. I've seen better scorers. Better rebounders. Better players at dishing out assist. And better defenders. But I've never seen a player put it all together like he has.

I actually am a Lebron fan, but these damn Cavs fans get me everytime to bash him when most times I want to do the opposite. I thought early in his career with the Cavs he was unfairly labeled a loser because he couldn't win with his garbage squads.

But 100% agree with you in that he's come into the league in an era of social media, has taken even lump and expectation and still thrived. On top of that the stuff he's done off the court is second to none.

Just amazing and he deserves his props for this.

Yeah I can think of one very special Cavs fan that had his nose all up in LeBron's ass until he had the nerve to leave the Cavs for a second time. It's people like that that make it a little easier to talk some shit about him.

I've always enjoyed watching LeBron play. Just like I've enjoyed all the greats of the game that I've watched going back to the early 80's.

And no doubt about the lack of talent he had in Cleveland his first go around. Looking back at it I now give him extra credit for getting two not so talented Cavs teams ('07 & '18) all the way to the Finals. Put any other NBAer on those teams and I doubt the Cavs make it all the way to the final round of the playoffs.

Definitely an argument to be made. I'll still go with Jordan but the gap isn't as wide as even most Jordan fans would think.

For my all time starting 5 MJ & LeBron are without a doubt on the list.

Kareem was still pretty good at 36, too.

I didn't know he was this skilled. I was thinking he was just a dunker and shot blocker.

Check out his 3 point shooting while you're at it.

With all these crazy deals coming out recently I think he easily SHOULD get a max.

Makes sense more and more everyday why he turned down the 90+ mil the Hawks tried to give him.

Yes, I've seen it. He's shooting like 70%. His form looks really good. it's not like he's Manute Bol just flinging a 3-point shot up there.
