Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James has been in the league for the last 21 seasons. James currently is 39 years old and still is one of the best in the league. He even carried Team USA through the group stages in the Olympics and even had the whole offense run through him during the game.
Recently a video went viral of LeBron James recreating his ‘unstoppable move’ 12 years later after he originally did the move in the 2012 Olympics. In 2012 James was teaching Kevin Durant the move which was a spinning skyhook near the post. The video left all the fans in nostalgia and many fans were even amazed at how James can still be this fit at his age.
James represented the USA in 2012 also and was at the peak of his power during those times. He was certainly the best player in the world and was winning championships with the Miami Heat. The spinning skyhook was certainly a representation of the deep-scoring bag James has. He averaged 25.7 points, 7.3 rebounds and 8.3 assists with the Los Angeles Lakers last season.
Fans could actually not be able to see spinning skyhook during a game due to the low arc on the hook which would easily be blocked. But the move is certainly one of the fanciest moves in basketball and requires a lot of skill.
LeBron James is in the final leg of his career
LeBron James will soon be turning 40 this December. He has even shown signs of slowing down and is not the same player he was during his days with the Miami Heat. James has certainly made it clear in interviews and conferences about his time in the league coming to an end.
James represented Team USA in the 2024 Olympics. He teamed up with his long-time rivals Stephen Curry and Kevin Durant. It was a treat for all the basketball fans to see all three team up and wear the same threads. It was certainly a great farewell by James to international basketball as he had announced that he wouldn’t be playing in the 2028 Olympics which is set to be held in Los Angeles.
James has certainly had one of the best careers in the NBA with a really big list of achievements. As said by many fans the league will certainly not be the same after James retires. He is certainly a once-in-a-generation talent.
