It seems that LeBron James of the Lakers has accumulated more NBA experience than all the players in the OKC Thunder team combined. The Lakers faced off against the Thunder on Thursday night, hoping to secure their 11th win out of 19 games in the 2023-24 season. Despite being in his 21st year in the league, James continues to perform at an All-Star level, and the Lakers have improved their position in the standings after a rough start to the season. They are now a few games over the .500 mark.
LeBron James is regarded as one of the greatest basketball players of all time due to his impressive longevity in the sport. During a recent game against the Thunder, it was revealed that James has played more regular season minutes (54,693) than the entire Thunder team (consisting of 18 players) combined (53,853). This serves as a testament to James’ endurance and consistency throughout his career.
James recently made NBA history by becoming the all-time leader in minutes played. Despite showing some signs of decline in athleticism and an increase in injuries, James’ basketball IQ, shooting skills, and size are still as impressive as they were during his prime. He remains one of the league’s top athletes, despite nearing the age of 39. While it remains uncertain how long James will continue playing basketball, there seems to be no reason why he couldn’t keep going for several more years.
