“Gary Trent Sr., Gary Trent Jr. Kenyon Martin Sr., Kenyon Martin Jr.? So yeah, I’m playing against seniors and juniors now. Wow, I get to a third. I swear. At this point I am in some Tom Brady s**t then. I am playing against the third?”
It is absolutely astounding to see a player dominating the league for such a long time. The fact that ‘King James‘ is still the finest player in one of the best teams in the league speaks volumes about how dedicated the 36-year-old really is towards the game and getting the best out of his impeccable physique.
Are we finally seeing the downfall of King James?
There is no doubting the greatness of LeBron James. In the first fifteen years in the league, LBJ hadn’t suffered from any massive injury and looked like a machine. But in the last three years, the 36-year-old is finally looking like a mortal.

In his first year with the Lakers, in the middle of a playoff push. LeBron had a terrible groin injury and missed the rest of the season. But in the second year of his Lakers’ stint, the 17-time All-Star looked indestructible yet again and led the Purple & Gold to championship glory.
This season, the 36-year-old was one of the favorites to become the MVP, but he suffered from yet another devastating injury as he had a freaky high ankle sprain. Missing over 25 games, LBJ was still a great player upon his return but did not have the same athleticism.
