LeBron James On Turning 40

"LeBron is 40, this f--kery won't go on for much longer, thank god."

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
