All-Star Los Angeles Lakers combo forward LeBron James remains stunningly good even in his 21st NBA season (he’s played more pro seasons than not in his 39 years on this planet).
The ageless wonder was recently praised heavily on The Dan LeBatard Show by none other than longtime James/Lakers rival Paul Pierce, a ten-time All-Star and Hall of Famer in his own right:
“It’s a joy to watch, man,” Pierce raved. “And I think us as fans gotta really cherish it for however many more years LeBron can play at this level. ‘Cause I’ll tell you one thing, when I was like 34, I was waking up and it was hit or miss if I was gonna be ready for the game.”
“And I’m looking at a dude who’s 39 – LeBron is probably the greatest athlete we’ve ever seen – just athlete. We’ve never seen nobody play at this level at this age. And, yeah you could say [former New England Patriots and Tampa Bay Buccaneers All-Pro quarterback Tom] Brady, he played until he was 40-plus [45, to be precise], but he didn’t have to run up and down the court, jump, go out there and dunk, guard.”
Across 51 contests thus far this season, James is averaging 25 points on .524/.401/.736 shooting splits, 7.9 assists and 7.2 rebounds a night, while leading his Lakers to a decent 31-28 record overall, alongside fellow All-Star Anthony Davis.
