LeBron James has a true shooting of 67.1%, second highest in the league. Curry has 68.5%.
LeBron turns 39 in a month. He leads the league in 4th quarter points per game and 4th quarter plus minus.
Curry turns 36 in a few months, he is averaging 30/5/4 on 48/45/93 splits.
They are both the backbone of their team. LeBron is leading the Lakers in points, assists, field goal percentage and plus minus. He is second in rebounds, blocks, steals and 3 point percentage. Curry is leading the Warriors in points, Klay is second with just 14.4 ppg with 40/34/88 splits.
The old guard is still at the top of the league. LeBron, Curry and KD are all top 10 still, their impact still undeniable. These 3 might just average 20+ ppg into their 40s. Crazy to think how a guy known for his shitty ankles, a guy known for his lanky frame and a guy best known for athleticism have a case for the 3 players with the best longevity.

Steph is so good. But leflop is a bum
I did some heavy squats a couple days ago and my back is still cooked. I’m 26. How on earth can an almost 40yo man with that mileage play like this almost every single night?
Crazy how KD and Steph had to team up to beat Bron with a healthy squad.
If Bron could hit his free throws he’d be first by a bit, it’s kinda crazy
Imagine telling people in 2016 that this is the case in 2023
Damn, it’s almost like this LeBron guy is good at basketball.
GOAT
Honestly, Bron could play until 45 on a good team. His passing / vision is unbelievable and he can always cut / push smaller defenders.
