LeBron James and Michael Jordan
LeBron James has been one of the best or the best player(s) in the league for nineteen long seasons. Especially during the recent struggles of the Los Angeles Lakers, LeBron has managed to take over the steering wheel to lead the team in winning more games.
The NBA‘s King has broken multiple records over the years and has set many as well. He has an outstanding list of achievements and unique career features under his name. This season he became one of three players to cross 36,000 points and is on pace to replace Karl Malone who has the second-most points scored in the history of the league.
While being one of the most talented players of the generation, James is one of the oldest members of the league being 37-years old as of December 2021. And with his ever achieving nature, his age also tends to make him stand out among the rest of the league with the numbers he has been averaging this season.
LeBron James passes Michael Jordan after recording a new feature
LeBron James during his early 20s in the league had become “the youngest ever to do” players numerous times and his game had not changed a bit since then which means he is still about to make similar marks by being the oldest ever to do so.
At the age of 37, LeBron becomes the oldest player in the league to have 10 straight 25+ point games passing Michael Jordan who set the record at the age of 34 in 1997. The comparisons between the two players have never stopped and have continued to grow into almost an unsolvable debate around the world.
Despite Michael Jordan’s incredible playoff history winning six rings with the Chicago Bulls franchise, LeBron James holds the record in almost every major and supporting category there is. He has the most playoffs appearances in NBA history and the most points scored during the post-season as well.
LeBron James has averaged 27 points with 7.4 rebounds and 7.4 assists per game during his nineteen-season career having no signs of stopping anytime soon. Michael Jordan averaged an exceptional 30.1 points per game with 6.2 rebounds and 5.3 assists.
Will LeBron James settle the debate in the future?
LeBron James has been on fire this season despite having a short setback earlier at the beginning. He has been averaging 28.7 points with 7.4 rebounds and 6.6 assists per game shooting 52.1% from the field.
Since mid-December, the player has averaged well over 30 points per game leading his team to a few crucial victories. He has a 30 point triple-double against the Houston Rockets last month and a 43 point game on New Year’s Eve. LeBron’s chances of winning his fifth ring are slim this year but his excellence on the court and as an individual speaks for itself.
