The world of the NBA was shaken when LeBron James hinted toward retirement. However, according to an NBA analyst, it was an “epitome of a silly storyline?.Being the one who started his retirement rumors, he himself put an end to it during the ESPY Awards. The 38-year-old made some bold comments.?The real question for me is: Can I play without cheating this game? The day I can?t give everything on the floor is the day I?ll be done. Lucky for you guys, that day is not today,? is precisely what he said.

So NBA fans can rest easily knowing one of the NBA’s GOATS isn’t leaving this season. However, LeBron James, who comes in first in many categories including being the league’s first billionaire received a shock when discovered that he comes in second to Stephen Curry?s 4x champion teammate in a particular category.

LeBron James ranks second to a Golden State Warriors Champion.

LeBron James, the veteran player for the Los Angeles Lakers, recently learned that he wasn’t the NBA’s oldest active player. And his reaction to the information was nothing short of amusing. Despite taking jabs about his age from NBA teammates and opponents alike, LeBron has always embraced the wisdom that comes with his age. Being 38 years old, he seems to take satisfaction in being one of the league’s oldest players. However, when he realized he wasn’t at the top of the age ladder, amusing disappointment quickly replaced this sensation of pride.

When LeBron stumbled across a graph showing the oldest active NBA player at the time, the realization struck him. The Lakers forward responded with a humorous reply on his story, “Who’s 1st?? Thought I was the ?? [oldest].”

So, who’s the oldest player in the league?

The honor of being the oldest player in the league goes to Warriors’ legend, Andre Iguodala(39 YO).

The Philadelphia 76ers drafted Iguodala with the ninth overall pick in the 2004 NBA Draft. However, it was his stint with the Warriors that really cemented his place in the history of the sport. Iguodala was an important member of the Warriors’ squad who helped the team win four NBA championships. His accomplishments were especially noticeable during the 2015 Finals, as he won Finals MVP honors.

Sorry LeBron, you can’t win the title of the oldest player in the league this year. Maybe in the upcoming years?

Meanwhile, LeBron James now has a significant change to his jersey.

LeBron James changes his jersey number

The 38 YO player revealed his desire to switch his jersey number once more, going back to the No. 23 he wore during his first three seasons with the Lakers. After wearing No. 6 for the previous two seasons, he changed the number to honor Bill Russell, a Boston Celtics legend and civil rights activist who won an incredible 11 NBA titles. LeBron received permission to continue donning No. 6 despite the NBA’s decision to retire the number across the league to honor Russell. However, he has moved back to No. 23 out of profound respect for the renowned legend.
