As the NBA gears up for its 79th season, all eyes are on LeBron James, who is poised to enter his 22nd year in the league, a milestone that ties him with Vince Carter for the most seasons played in NBA history. At 39 years old, James continues to defy the norms of athletic longevity, making him the oldest active player in the league.
James's illustrious career has been marked by numerous records and milestones. He recently became the NBA's all-time leading scorer, surpassing Kareem Abdul-Jabbar two seasons ago. This season, he is on the cusp of another historic achievement: becoming the first player to reach 50,000 combined regular-season and postseason points. With just 1,364 points needed, James is likely to hit this mark by his 53rd game, assuming he maintains his previous season's scoring pace.
In addition to his scoring prowess, James is also closing in on other significant records. He needs only 850 minutes to surpass Kareem Abdul-Jabbar for the most regular-season minutes played, a feat he could achieve by the Lakers' 24th game. James is also nearing the record for most regular-season games played, needing 69 games to pass Abdul-Jabbar and trail only Robert Parish.
The upcoming season will also see a unique family dynamic, as James's son, Bronny James, who was drafted 55th in the 2024 NBA draft, is set to join the Los Angeles Lakers. This will mark the first time in NBA history that a father-son duo will play together on the same team.
James's statistical resume continues to grow impressively. He averaged 25.7 points, 7.3 rebounds, and 8.3 assists per game last season, showcasing his versatility and endurance. His ability to contribute across multiple facets of the game has been a hallmark of his career, with James having averaged at least 25 points, 5 rebounds, and 5 assists in 16 different seasons.
As James celebrates his birthday on December 30, he will become the first player to have played in the NBA as both a teenager and a 40-year-old, further cementing his legacy as one of the greatest players in NBA history.
With each passing season, LeBron James continues to rewrite the record books and push the boundaries of what is possible for an athlete of his age and experience. As the 2024-25 season begins, fans and analysts alike are eagerly anticipating what new milestones James will achieve.
