LeBron James has been on fire over the last few games. James has been carrying the load for the Lakers and playing some of the best basketball of his career. James’ longevity has been incredible so far. In fact, one statistic just showcases how good James has been for so long.

LeBron James is averaging 28.6 points per game at age 37. This makes him the oldest player in NBA history to average 25+ points per game. But coincidentally, he is also the youngest, as he averaged 27.6 points per game in his sophomore season at just 20 years of age.

James has been on fire so far and is one of the top 5 scorers this season. In fact, James was one of the top 5 scorers in 2006 as well, just showcasing how good he has been for the entirety of his NBA career. James has just been making history on this latest run so far.

Recently, LeBron James became the youngest player in NBA history to score 36,000 career points. On top of that, he also surpassed Oscar Robertson to become 4th all-time on the NBA’s free-throws made list. James has been spectacular so far, and it’s clear that he’s trying to achieve a big goal of his.

The Lakers were expected to be NBA championship favorites this season. But now, they’ve been underperforming to such an extent that they have been dubbed underdogs. Many have dubbed this ‘the LeBron Process‘, and expect James to carry the rest of the team into the playoffs.

Former teammate Kendrick Perkins said that LeBron James is striving to catch up to Michael Jordan when it comes to NBA championships, which is why we see him playing some of the best basketball we have ever seen him play in his career right now.
