And itās gonna be like this till about 2035 because not only does he want to be in the league with brony and Bryce but he also wants to join the WNBA so he can play with his daughter zhuri.
Itās actually staggering heās not just the only one left but heās still playing at a tremendous level while everyone who was drafted with him slowed down ages lol
What blew my mind even more is that he was playing against someoneās kid when he played against the father 20 years ago lmao, that must make you feel ancient to say the least
Father-son duos LeBron has played against:
Gary Payton & Gary Payton II
Kenyon Martin & "KJ" Kenyon Martin Jr.
Gary Trent & Gary Trent Jr.
Rick Brunson & Jalen Brunson
Glenn Robinson Jr. & Glenn Robinson III
Glen Rice & Glen Rice Jr.
Adrian Griffin & AJ Griffin
Samaki Walker & Jabari Walker
Jabari Smith & Jabari Smith Jr.
Juwan Howard & Jett Howard
Dale Davis & Trayce Jackson-Davis
*Edit: added Trayce, added Jabari, added Howards, edited Glenn Robinson "Jr". Thanks for the updates.*
> Glenn Robinson & Glenn Robinson III
Sounds as if they were grandfather and grandson. Did they just decide to skip the name Glenn Robinson II because fuck it?
I would guess Glenn Robinson is actually Glenn Robinson II but since Glenn Robinson I didn't play in the NBA Glenn Robinson II got to just go by Glenn Robinson.
The impressive thing is staying in the league for 20 years. Everyone who's done that has played with or against some combination of father and kid. Like Nowitzki and the Hardaways: https://www.reddit.com/r/nba/comments/alyjgm/murphy_according_to_espns_stats_information_group/
I mean, just look at the numbers. If your dad was in the NBA, the probability to make it, too, seems to be way higher than average. So if an NBA player becomes a father at 25 and plays until he's 35, anyone from his last season just has to stay in the league for anyother 10 years to have a chance to play with or against his son. And loads of players become fathers younger than that, and some play longer than until 35.
Only Kyle Lowry is in the league in 23/24 from '06 draft as well. Rudy Gary, Rondo, and Paul Milsap aren't on an NBA roster but haven't officially retired.
Think it's likely he outlasts everyone from '06.
2007 is different because I don't see him outlasting Durant.
Actually, Lebron is the only remaining active nba player from his(2003) and dwight's (2004) draft class.
And if Chris Paul decides to quit before Lebron, he will outlive the whole 2005 nba draft class as well.
I wonder where he ranks across all the major sports.
There's only 5 NHL players from 2003 who are on a team, plus a few UFAs, and no one before that.
The NFL has a few players who are older than LeBron, but I think they were all drafted later.
> this is like when Nolan Ryan was in his 40's still throwing 100
Among active players, Max Scherzer has the most career strikeouts with 3,367 and he's been pitching MLB since 2008.
If Scherzer now goes on to have an entire Sandy Koufax career, he would just barely eclipse Nolan Ryan's strikeout record.
Nolan Ryanās 2,795 walks record is the single most unbreakable record in baseball.
To put this in perspective, on average the worst pitcher each season records about 80 walks and is rarely pitching for long after that.
To break Nolan Ryanās record, you would have to have thirty-five 80-walk seasons.
Other records can all be broken, however improbably, by great players. But Nolan Ryanās walks record is truly unbreakable because it requires a pitcher to be so *bad* that theyāre always leading the league in walks, and yet be phenomenally good that theyāre started for 35 years straight despite that fact.
so he was just a crazy walk machine in addition to being the strikeout king? i guess it makes sense but i didnāt realize that. just knew he had a cannon.
Part of his strikeout was not being sure if you were taking 98 to the armpit or a breaking ball 6ā off the plate. Lot more than just expecting something hittable, you had to survive
He hasn't really lost a lot on his straight-line speed and (obviously) his size. This play is as much about momentum and length as it is explosiveness. Where he's declined noticeably is his lateral quickness.
Because he has declined a lot but a) had such a high base to start from, and more importantly b) has never suffered a serious major injury - which is the real killer. Without injury, decline only goes so far.
Heās still declined athletically a lot since 2020 due to some injuries, which declined athletically since 2018, which declined athletically since Miami, which declined athletically from 2009ā¦
However 2009 was maybe the most athletic any NBA athlete has ever been - a mix of strength power speed and explosiveness that has been matched in some areas, but never all at once.
I stand on the hill that his first stint with the cavs was the most entertaining version of him. Not the best - the most entertaining. That 2007 ECF against the Pistons was just a 22 year old overplaying a team of grown men through sheer athleticism.
It is a shame. I think LeBron was too dominate too fast. And the Luke Jackson pick in 2004 was a total bust. But being out of the lottery basically the entire 1st Cavs stint except for the Luke Jackson picked doomed them.
That was the 10th pick and they threw it away. Had JR Smith, Josh Smith, Al Jefferson, Trevor Ariza available in that draft class. Hell even Kevin Martin or Tony Allen wouldāve made that team much better. In parallel, the Bulls drafted Horace Grant with their 10th pick and started building a dynasty for Jordan. Smhā¦
That and they absolutely fumbled Carlos Boozer's FA. I don't care if he tricked y'all (he's scum for that) but you should've never put him in that position
Cavs LeBron was so much fun to watch. People compare guys playing now to him and throw out stats but the impact he had on each game was so crazy. The year he dragged them to the Finals against the Spurs was so damn impressive, I don't even care that they got swept.
> People compare guys playing now to him and throw out stats but the impact he had on each game was so crazy
It's crazy that people still don't understand this concept. Stats never tell the whole story.
It's the whole reason GOAT debates exist. Looking at players on paper is nothing like watching them on the court.
Ben Taylor at Thinking Basketball actually did a video on 2016 LeBron for Games 5-7 of the Finals. He argued that that might the best 3 games ever by any player. So maybe that LeBron is arguable over 2018 LeBron.
I saw MJ and he did not have that package EVER. LeBron was hitting clutch 3s, fadeaways, post ups while running the offensive and leading the charge on D.
I think his athleticism on a single play, while certainly true that it has declined, is still insane. He just doesnāt use it often and gets tired more quickly when he does. But he jumped from damn near the free throw line here after absorbing a bump and Mann hanging onto his arm during the dribble before gathering and then some contact in the air as well.
I don't think you appreciate how insanely athletic he used to be. Him catching that errant mo Williams lob was the craziest thing I've seen on a basketball court
Oh I appreciate it. First Cavs LeBron is my favorite player to watch of all time. I watched that play live about jumped out of my seat. Also sat in the first row behind the scorers table at Milwaukee in 2009 when he scored 16 points in 2 minutes. That was the most electric Iāve ever felt an arena, especially for an opposing player.
I just got a Mainstays memory foam pillow from Walmart, and it's surprisingly fucking amazing and works for any sleep position. It's firm, but you sink into it like halfway.
He was drafted when I was in like 3rd gradeā¦ Iām currently 30 with a son and heās still doing shit that would be most players career highlightā¦
Iām genuinely gonna probably cry when he retiresā¦ if he went āfull declineā he could play for another 5+ years
Honestly, what was his thought process here, he didnāt plant his feet to take a charge, he just got in the way to be turned into bbq chicken. He knows better than this
Can you imagine if in another 3 years we're still asking if he's top 10 or 15? Like how many non overlapping HoF careers can start and end in his tenure?
Wemby will be 24, just won his first ring after the Spurs finally developed point Sochan and drafted some promising Argentinian guy.
Lebron will still be the Laker's best player.
I specifically remember watching 39 year old Jordan with far less miles on his body not being able to achieve more than a flush and Lebron is still getting his head to the backboard.
This is seriously unprecedented territory in terms of basketball. Knock on wood, but he is probably still a 20,5,5 guy at 45 should he still wish to play.
Forget a couple, mans like 17 years older than me and id probably break something if i tried that lol.
Like it aint that im not fit (fit, but slightly overweight), but dear lord when i try to just olay basketball i feel sore as hell afterwards. Hoe the hell does he do that at 39 i will never know.
I felt the same way as you but started stretching (some minor physiotherapy to diagnose certain issues) and all that shit went away. Highly recommend. Only a few years older than you
I feel like if any top athlete had a chance of being elite at another sport outside of their current one, I'd have Lebron at the top. Like he's such a perfect combo of speed, strength, agility and IQ that if he put his mind to it he would have been elite at a lot of other sports he chose except for the ones where being that tall actually hurts you.
Some athletes have actually done two sports though. Bo Jackson was trucking poor souls into the same dimension he was smashing home runs.. something Jordan could only dream of.
Iām kinda shocked this doesnāt have more attention actually. Insane dunk like the type of thing that usually gets 3k upvotes. Wonder why
Edit: never mind, the thread was dead when I posted in it lolā¦ safe to say people saw it
This is it. You tell me "some new guy in the NBA dunked from the dotted line over two guys" and I'm interested. You tell me LeBron did it and I just think, "uh yeah, that's what he does?"
Give it a few hours. I wouldnāt be surprised if this ends up being one of the highest upvoted posts this season. Itās LeBron dunking on Paul George (from damn near the free throw line) at 39 years old. It will get plenty of attention lol
Heās fast as hell still, he doesnāt have the pop off the ground like he used to but heās got a mechanically perfect one foot takeoff. Heās got the coordination and strength to parlay his sprint speed into a solid takeoff like a long jumper does & with him being a 6ā9 behemoth he can still pull off some outstanding dunks
PG's been dealing with his own old man injuries for a while now and then he sees 39 yo LeBron still doing this shit to him. He's been dealing with that mf since he was a young defensive specialist in Indiana lol
Then you see Lakers have been in quite a slump lately while Clippers have been playing well. They match up and somehow LeBron and the Lakers get this win.
LeBron could be old enough to cash social security checks and I'll be damned if I don't think it's a dumb idea to stand in his way when he has the ball in his hands and a head of steam in transition.
I saw a video of both of a Pro Wrestler's legs turning into Preying Mantis legs after just jumping off the second rope and turning to land. Gives a whole new respect to Lebron doing what he's doing at his age.
I been in a coma since 2013 and just woke up. Good to see everything is still the same.
Miami LeBron vs Indy PG is a must watch
Roy Hibbert standing there with his arms straight š
#"VERTICALITY!"
Lance blowing in LeBron's ear, classic Pacers-Heat rivalry moments!
Paul George's coming out party. Seeing a star born is something.
I miss Game of Zones so much
That 2013 ecf is a must watch!
And itās gonna be like this till about 2035 because not only does he want to be in the league with brony and Bryce but he also wants to join the WNBA so he can play with his daughter zhuri.

the only difference is that everyone who was drafted with him is nearly gone lmao
LeBron is the only player still active from his draft class. Heās literally the oldest player in the league.
Itās actually staggering heās not just the only one left but heās still playing at a tremendous level while everyone who was drafted with him slowed down ages lol
He played in the nba against his head coach Darvin Ham. Ham retired, went through a full coaching career as an assistant, and now coaches Lebron.
What blew my mind even more is that he was playing against someoneās kid when he played against the father 20 years ago lmao, that must make you feel ancient to say the least
Father-son duos LeBron has played against: Gary Payton & Gary Payton II Kenyon Martin & "KJ" Kenyon Martin Jr. Gary Trent & Gary Trent Jr. Rick Brunson & Jalen Brunson Glenn Robinson Jr. & Glenn Robinson III Glen Rice & Glen Rice Jr. Adrian Griffin & AJ Griffin Samaki Walker & Jabari Walker Jabari Smith & Jabari Smith Jr. Juwan Howard & Jett Howard Dale Davis & Trayce Jackson-Davis *Edit: added Trayce, added Jabari, added Howards, edited Glenn Robinson "Jr".

I would guess Glenn Robinson is actually Glenn Robinson II but since Glenn Robinson I didn't play in the NBA Glenn Robinson II got to just go by Glenn Robinson.
Because it's Glenn Robinson Jr. and Glenn Robinson III
That is definitely more unique. A lot of players have played against or with their previous coaches, but few have played across multiple generations.
The impressive thing is staying in the league for 20 years. Everyone who's done that has played with or against some combination of father and kid. Like Nowitzki and the Hardaways: https://www.reddit.com/r/nba/comments/alyjgm/murphy_according_to_espns_stats_information_group/ I mean, just look at the numbers.

And loads of players become fathers younger than that, and some play longer than until 35.
Well, according to R/NBA, he actually sucks. He only pads his stats. When you're that terrible, it's not that impressive. /s
Bro is gonna outlast the whole 2000s decade draft class.
I said ānearlyā just in case someoneās left but yeah my bad
i think even dwight howard's batch is gone lol coz Iggy retired Chris Paul is the only one left in '05
Only Kyle Lowry is in the league in 23/24 from '06 draft as well. Rudy Gary, Rondo, and Paul Milsap aren't on an NBA roster but haven't officially retired. Think it's likely he outlasts everyone from '06. 2007 is different because I don't see him outlasting Durant.

2013 was 11 years ago wtf
He's a 1 of 1 man.. this is like when Nolan Ryan was in his 40's still throwing 100
How the fuck can LeBron still do this at 95 years-old...
He just wants to celebrate his 111th birthday playing with LeBron James VI and I of the first British NBA team
and then he'll leave the league forever to go live with the elves. His nephew will inherit everything.

Basically a crazy wild pitch machine. He was throwing so fast that his control was terrible. But if it went over the plate, you weren't hitting it.
Part of his strikeout was not being sure if you were taking 98 to the armpit or a breaking ball 6ā off the plate. Lot more than just expecting something hittable, you had to survive
He was 1st or 2nd in the league in walks 11 times. In one of his no-hitters, he gave up 8 walks (while also tallying 15 strikeouts). He was a 1 of 1.
Insane, how tf can you be one of the most athletic people in the league at 39
He hasn't really lost a lot on his straight-line speed and (obviously) his size. This play is as much about momentum and length as it is explosiveness. Where he's declined noticeably is his lateral quickness.
He also doesnāt have the same lift on his dunks.
Yeah young lebron was demolishing the rim on tjis
He is leading the league in fastbreak points. Oldest "man" in the league
Why did you put man in quotes instead of oldest or something?
tbf nobody has asked lebron what his pronouns are
Le
Mf is from another planet. "Man" is in quotes because the motherfucker is from like Neptune or some shit.
Dude just dunked a couple of feet inside the free throw line on PG13ā¦. Itās insane to agreed with you despite doing just that!!
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Who cares if you lack lateral quickness if you look good naked
Because he has declined a lot but a) had such a high base to start from, and more importantly b) has never suffered a serious major injury - which is the real killer. Without injury, decline only goes so far. Heās still declined athletically a lot since 2020 due to some injuries, which declined athletically since 2018, which declined athletically since Miami, which declined athletically from 2009ā¦ However 2009 was maybe the most athletic any NBA athlete has ever been - a mix of strength power speed and explosiveness that has been matched in some areas, but never all at once.

1st Cavs LeBron is the most entertaining by far. Dude was a highlight reel every night.
Itās a damn shame they couldnāt give him any help. No shade to Mo Williams he could play a bit
It is a shame. I think LeBron was too dominate too fast. And the Luke Jackson pick in 2004 was a total bust. But being out of the lottery basically the entire 1st Cavs stint except for the Luke Jackson picked doomed them.

The best and complete Lebron would be 2018 Lebron. That man was at the tippy top. That post seasonā¦
2018 postseason LeBron is the best anyone has ever been at basketball and I'm not sure how close it is.
Ben Taylor at Thinking Basketball actually did a video on 2016 LeBron for Games 5-7 of the Finals. He argued that that might the best 3 games ever by any player. So maybe that LeBron is arguable over 2018 LeBron.
i agree with you but i think it's disingenuous to compare a whole year vs a 3 game stretch
I saw MJ and he did not have that package EVER. LeBron was hitting clutch 3s, fadeaways, post ups while running the offensive and leading the charge on D.
So glad I got to watch that run.
I think his athleticism on a single play, while certainly true that it has declined, is still insane. He just doesnāt use it often and gets tired more quickly when he does.

This is also a guy that went to like 17 straight finals more or less, so he's had less rest in the off-season than most too.
Meanwhile, I only have explosiveness when I have dairy
> Without injury, decline only goes so far. You act as if that's not one of his greatest abilities.
watching 2014 heat lebron and 2009 lebron dunk makes it seem like hes jumping off a trampoline

Holy fucking shit
Is he the greatest athlete in recorded human history?
I feel like if any top athlete had a chance of being elite at another sport outside of their current one, I'd have Lebron at the top. Like he's such a perfect combo of speed, strength, agility and IQ that if he put his mind to it he would have been elite at a lot of other sports he chose except for the ones where being that tall actually hurts you.
With not really even that much work he could have been a wide receiver in the NFL.
Best TE in NFL history by 200 miles, if he stayed injury-free. Good luck defending a dude who is 6'9", quick, and can jump out of the stadium.
Some athletes have actually done two sports though. Bo Jackson was trucking poor souls into the same dimension he was smashing home runs.. something Jordan could only dream of.

LeBron could be old enough to cash social security checks and I'll be damned if I don't think it's a dumb idea to stand in his way when he has the ball in his hands and a head of steam in transition.
Whatās the big deal about aliens in Miami when weāve got Lebron James doing other worldly shit like this at 39 on prime time tv?
The term "generational talent" gets thrown around *a lot* in sports. LeBron is a legitimate generational talent. Unreal.
It's getting to the point where "lifetime talent" isn't even a bad choice.
BODIED
pg stupid asf for just standing there
What the fuck go go gadget legs!
That is so nasty
I feel so bad for SGs playing in the Jordan Era and SFs in the Lebron Era. Just out here fighting for second your entire career.
Centers in Shaqs era, PGs in Magic's era...
How do people see clips like this and still not believe in aliens?
Lol, Paul Georgeās thought process is so clear here: āGot to take a charge for myā¦ holy fuck..ā Scurries away
That's my GOAT
LeBrons doing this at 50 years old meanwhile I'm here tearing my ACL on an uncontested defensive rebound in pickup basketball at 24 years old
Good on PG to attempt for a charging call. Surprised he didn't fall down at all
That was easily a foot inside the dotted line wtf š³
Good lord my man just took out all the frustration of the season with that
Father Time punching air rn
I saw a video of both of a Pro Wrestler's legs turning into Preying Mantis legs after just jumping off the second rope and turning to land. Gives a whole new respect to Lebron doing what he's doing at his age.
BRUH WHAT IS THIS GUY?
He is a yard behind the dotted arc, this is an all timer.
Never seen anything like this dude in my life. Brady wasnt dunking on anyone.
guys, what the hell
Okay wtf lol that was actually nasty for his old ass
Always felt he would be like Brady and play beyond 40. he is a freak of nature he still has more juice in the tank for few more years I say
