Today (December 30) is the 39th birthday of Lebron James, one of the best and greatest players of the NBA, who has achieved most of the achievements and titles to enter the temple of legends.

One of the greatest NBA writers, Russ Benston, once said that one day Lebron James would retire and officially join the ranks of American professional basketball legends. “It turns out that Lebron will have his time like any other name and he will retire sooner than we expected,” this moment was posted on December 30, 2014 on the occasion of James’ 30th birthday.

Back nine years ago, when rumors were swirling that James would retire early, who would have thought that since hitting 30 years old, James has truly come of age. He has scored more points in a season on average than both Sam Jones and Tim Hardaway in the Hall of Fame.

Not to mention more than 4,600 rebounds and 4,600 assists, nearly 750 steals and 400 blocks, numbers that are almost “unprecedented”. Moreover, Lebron James also participated in All-Star 9 times, voted NBA 9 times, MVP of the season, participated in NBA Finals 5 times, 2 NBA championships, 2 Finals MVP titles…

9 years later, we still see a persistent and enthusiastic James every time he takes the field. Currently, this player has scored more points than any player in NBA history . The superstar born in 1984 is in the top 5 of all time in the number of assists and top 10 in the number of steals. With the achievements he has achieved, James has the right to be proud that at the age of 39, he is still diligently playing the field as well as accumulating individual and team titles.

Nearing the middle of his 21st season, Lebron is still playing like a top 10 player, averaging over 25 points, 7 rebounds, 7 assists per game. These numbers are enough to prove that there is no debate about James being the greatest basketball player of all time.
