At 37 years of age, LeBron James clearly defies the odds and seems to reverse time. At an age when most retire, LeBron continues to perform at a high level. In fact, his meteoric rise has not stopped as he became the first player to have at least 30K points, 10K assists, and 10K rebounds. This is truly astounding as the Lakers’ frontman continues to dominate the league.

Clearly, his achievements put him among the best to have set foot in the NBA. In fact, he is involved in the debate for the Greatest of All-Time with Michael Jordan. Moreover, he was ranked 2nd by the NBA’s 75th Anniversary Team. So it makes sense that if anyone were to assemble a starting five, they would include LeBron James. But Nick Adams doesn’t feel that way. His exclusion of the ‘King’ from his list of best players at each position took Twitter by storm.
