LeBron James is back in the NBA headlines and once again stunning the basketball world with his greatness has silenced all his doubters and haters. Bron is living up to the nickname, “The Chosen One” he earned before even getting drafted to the league. At age 38, LeBron James is still unstoppable and in the run to win some more championships. He isn’t just the top scorer and one of the best playmakers and rebounders in the league. He’s also the most consistent player in the league’s history.
The genuine basketball world is very aware of the longevity and consistency of LeBron James. As he’s been delivering for the past 20 years and is still locked in and getting the business done whenever he suits up. He’ll be around for some more seasons but he’s already made it to the GOAT debate. And, now we have one more point to add to his greatness and that’s his consistency in the playoffs.
As LeBron James has so far played 271 playoff games and that’s the most number of playoff games played by a player in the league’s history. Also, unlike the modern superstars he has never missed a playoff game due to injury. He really has never disappointed the balling world with his availability, consistency, and longevity. As the Los Angeles Lakers have made it to the postseason and are balling out, LeBron’s number of matches played in the postseason would surely go up.
In the 271 playoff games played so far, LeBron James has averaged 28.6 points, 9.1 rebounds, and 7.2 assists according to Statmuse. He also has some of the best post-season performances registered under his name. It won’t be very possible and easy for any future star to break this record of LeBron James. As to do that they’ll have to reach at least 10 NBA Finals and have some more deep postseason runs.
LeBron James’ consistency separates him from the modern superstars
The league right now is featuring the most consistent hooper ever seen or even thought of to exist, LeBron James. But at the same time, we also have superstars who are missing games, running away from the efforts, and ducking the smoke by disappointing the fans by using load management.
The most recent examples of such players are Kawhi Leonard, Paul George, Anthony Davis, and even some other stars. As they have been inconsistent and injured recently.
While on the other hand, we have LeBron James who hasn’t just been consistent in the past 20 years but has dominated the league for the most time. Just King James things that the new stars can never match or even reach the edges of.
