    While amazing he’s younger than that list. Players used to play college. A player like Kareem coming out of highschool would set a different bar. He played 4 years. Parish was probably around 41in his last season. Kareem at 38 in 1986 was 23.3 ppg, 6.1 reb and 3.5 assists.

    MJ at 38 was 22.9 ppg, 5.7 and 5.1.

    This is not to discredit LeBron. What he’s doing is unprecedented. Just to put into context the other players you compared them to in their 40s

      Pretty sure KG was straight out of highschool, no?

      Also youre using mj 38 year old season, this is lebrons 39yo season isn’t it?

      And even then lebron so far average more points rebounds and assists on a better fg I dare guess.

      Just enjoy the man , cause even when you point this out to not discredit him you’re wrong

        Who said I’m not appreciative? Actually stated just that. You’re the one nitpicking as if your life depends on it. KG - you’re right. The rest were older at that point.
