He's still declining, but it's a graceful decline and he's went from a goat to still an all star caliber player which is still unheard of at his age. But he's not the same LeBron, you can't win a title with this LeBron as your best player and the Lakers will be in the play in or maybe get to the 6th seed, but they'll flame out in the first or second round. The days of LeBron carrying scrubs to the finals by himself are over.


1. He's top 10 at worst right now. That's far above all star level.
2. Kareem was 1st team all nba in 1986 when he turned 39.

ever really looked at what the boodys of the likes of David robinson, karl malone and ,yes his airness too looked like?
theres a good reason Stern made sure to allow nba players into barcelona 92 they would be tested by usada and NOT the Olympic Comite authorities.

I've seen 39+ yr olds play like this against younger average Joe's but this is happening in the NBA!

I cannot wait for an NBA without LeBron James in it. This drug-ridden, race-baiting, China boot-licking, hoax-perpetuating, insufferable fool as been in the league far far too long.

Please dial it back. This post is just bait for Lebron fans and it's a holiday and the mods aren't really trying to referee fights today lol. Please and thank you. -b

I mean, the dude isn't taking steroids, as in today's NBA nobody really does. It's more about recovery, and he for sure has ped going on for recovery. Hgh? Testosterone? Likely and hard to test for. And guess what, he isn't the only one. Anyone over 35 playing 80 plus NBA games a season need recovery time or recovery medical help. Hence why most sit out back to back games.

This chud seems like a fan of Fox News (the race-baiting, US boot-licking, hoax-perpetuating radical right wing propaganda outlet).

I bet he downed a bottle of Jack Daniels after King James scored 40 last night :lol:

And I’m here for it....if there was a drug that athletes could take that would keep them in their prime for 50 years I would damn near require MJ, Lebron, Shaq, AI, Ja , DRose, bird, Yao, Dirk, Wade, Giannis and a host of others to take it...I wouldn’t let Harden or Zion near it...you need to at least try to stay in shape to earn the right to play for 50 years

If it’s PEDs I’ll have what he is having ....lol


The guy that goes to work with a headache but doesn’t take an aspirin because an aspirin would improve his performance OR the person that never had a drink of coffee because caffeine is a verified human race performance enhancing drug can give point at Lebron with anger....

And btw I’m not pro PED I’m anti hypocrisy


How coffee is a PED

I keep telling people enjoy these last years. This man was the GOAT of our generation. The headlines positive and negative he gave us something to talk about. I honestly can't see anyone taking his place. LeBron was one of a kind.

I grew up hating him early in his career. As he got older that's when I started respecting his craft and the hard work he puts in the game to stay elite even at 39. The guy is special. Will always respect him as a basketball player.

You can say PEDs but PEDs don’t help maintain one’s athleticism, one’s skill level, or one’s intelligence on the court.

I agree with you every word. I want to believe he will play another elite 2 or 3 years and then another 4 or 5 years at an average level (perhaps bench player level)
Two reasons why: 1) I just want the most longevity out of him , but mostly 2) I am intrigued at how he will be able to utilize himself/figure out/evolve into, a player who will be "average"... I bet it will be interesting to see how wiley-ness and cerebral-ness will manifest into games impact.

Well it doesn't take much to pad stats in today's league but the impact to winning is clearly not there. And that is frankly more important than stats these days.

I think he will be more appreciated once he stops playing in the NBA.

I don't think these records will ever be broken.

Turns out in addition to having a once in 10 generations athletic ability, he also has insanely high skill and IQ.
