Father Time will eventually always win. But today, on December 30th, Father Time takes his first L.
Because LeBron officially turns 40 today, and he's doing what no 40-year-old should be doing.
These are the NBA’s PPG leaders at age 40 or older:
🔸’87-88 Kareem Abdul-Jabbar: 14.6 PPG
🔸’03-04 Karl Malone: 13.2 PPG
🔸’93-94 Robert Parish: 11.7 PPG
🔸’02-03 John Stockton: 10.8 PPG
🔸 ’88-89 Kareem Abdul-Jabbar: 10.1 PPG
Now take a look at what LeBron is doing in his age 40 season:
🔸23.5 PPG - leads all 40+ year olds
🔸9 APG - leads all 40+ year olds
🔸7.9 RPG - 2nd among 40+ year olds
This was never supposed to happen with any 40 year old. It will stop sooner than we think. #lebron #nba
