Lebron Raymone James is a 41-year-old basketball player, playing in the number 1 ranked league - NBA. He is playing for the LA Lakers, here in Los Angeles, he has been taking part since 2018, having previously played for Miami Heat and Cleveland Cavaliers, where he was drafted in 2003. Lebron is also known for treating his body like a temple by spending thousands of dollars on various therapies or generally things that can help him prolong his career. This made him an example for young athletes and a walking symbol of longevity.
James is globally viewed as perhaps one of the best basketball players of all time, but being 41 years of age naturally comes with a sport phenomenon called “Father time” which essentially describes a sportsman’s decline when turning a certain age (mostly 30-35). However, Lebron has been proving everybody that said, “Father time is catching up to him” wrong by being the most consistent performer since the NBA was founded, with 21 years of pure domination.
However, this season was a breaking point for LBJ, losing several of his records/streaks such as double-digit points per game streak, dating back to 2007, which stood for nearly 19 years, first time not an all-star since 2004 and many others that he is close to losing this season. Even though he lost all these records and streaks, he remains a well-respected and feared player on the court.
In conclusion, Lebron is not “washed up”, instead he switched his playing style from a hungry, young talent that likes scoring and having the spotlight, to a mature and helpful player that wants the best for the new talented and hungry players.
