He was 38 at the end of his most recent season in the top 10. But I think Puja was looking at those years cumulatively. He should probably give us his "Players Approaching 40" algorithm.
Actually, like Jordan the year he played 60 games and turned 39, James did not qualify in 2019, 2022, or 2023 because he played 55, 56, and 55 games, respectively. I was not aware of his scoring, because he didn't show up on any of the leaderboards I checked. My fault. I take the blame for that.
Puja said James was the only one in the top ten approaching 40. Either Jordan and James both did it (Jordan older and in more games in that older season), or neither did it due to not playing enough games.
You got to watch those filters!
Likewise, you'll need puja to clarify how he was filtering his stats.
I should've said "elite scorers" or "scoring leaders"
top-10 was just a phrase in my case
No filtering -- statmuse highest career scoring averages -- but only for the period after turning 35 through retirement
Not my usual level of excruciating minutiae
