LeBron James is the definition of going strong and going long. Apart from being among the most celebrated icons, his endurance is probably the most desired. LeBron came into the league as ?The Chosen One? in 2003. He will embark on his 21st NBA season and lead the Los Angeles Lakers this year. The 19-time all-star averaged 28.9 points, 8.3 rebounds, and 6.8 assists in a season number that most players can?t reach.

Of only a few players playing 20 or more seasons in the NBA, James? stats display his finesse over each of them. And as far as his stat lines are concerned, James? current season averages yielded better results than his career average of 27.2/7.5/7.3. This solidifies his impact on the game and shows he still has a genuine chance at multiple chips.?

James secured the title of the most points scored in the NBA this year. Lebron?s 4 championships have already concreted him as one of the greats. However, like every other great, LeBron?s eyes are on the title. Moreover, he has never refrained from sharing either. Not only would multiple titles sharpen his legacy, but they could also potentially end the GOAT debate with Michael Jordan.
