LeBron James is one of the greatest basketball players to ever play and one of the most influential athletes in the history of sports.
There’s no denying that James has achieved what no one can come close to in today’s era. The four-time champion has proven himself day in and day out while still dominating the league at the age of 39.
Recently, James hit the 40K mark, becoming the first and only player to score 40K career points. Achievements like these seem untouchable, no matter how advanced the generation gets. Paul Pierce had a similar take on James after listing his never-ending accolades.
Little did I know he was going for 40 thousand, little did I know he’s going to break all these other records… LeBron is in that gold argument where, you could just say he might be the GOAT. You know, his longevity, the records he’s had… Bron has a serious argument.
Said Pierce
It’s not only about James being a dominant athlete, but how he’s managed to keep up with everyone’s expectations. Right from his rookie season, James was seen as the next face of the NBA.
LeBron James has nothing to prove
With four championships, four MVP titles, and much more under his name, LeBron James has won it all in his 21-year career.

Some arguments state that no player can get close to what LeBron James has achieved. For the most part, it is true.
It is not normal to have an active player who plays in as many as 21 seasons and dominates each of them. Not only that but to say that another player in the future will pass James in all-time scoring is also something we might not ever witness.
With the remaining seasons left in James’ tank, it will be interesting to see him make yet another title run. While it would be a tough process to go through, the King wouldn’t hesitate to try. Let’s see how James will put a full stop to his NBA career.
