LeBron James continues to inspire others even in his 21st season

When LeBron James got drafted into the NBA, Vinicius Jr. was just 2 years old. It is crazy to think that the Brazilian soccer player has become one of the top talents in the world, and LeBron is still dominating the league like he is in his 20s. LeBron will turn 39 in five days, and he is still inspiring multiple generations with his work on and off the court. The LA Lakers superstar is averaging 25.4 points, 7.8 rebounds, and 7.3 assists in his 21st season. That is something that has never been done in NBA history.

LeBron became the oldest player in league history to have a 40-point game, going 5 of 5 from the three-point line in the last game. With the way LeBron has been playing this season, it looks like he will continue to inspire young athletes like Vinicius Jr. for years to come.
