LeBron James and Bill Walton
The past two decades of the NBA have been defined by the name of LeBron James. While he came as a superstar, became the face of the league, and continues to be so with his unprecedented dominance on the court, playing like a man among boys. It is not unreasonable to say that at the age of 38, the King has continually improved his basketball skills to accommodate the shifting NBA landscape. The Los Angeles Lakers star played a key role in each of the four NBA titles he has won with three different teams. Bill Walton, the former NBA player, showered James with unique praise on Dan Patrick Show.
James has repeatedly demonstrated over his 20-year career that he is the top scorer, rebounder, playmaker, defender, and leader, among many other qualities. He can switch his role just when he wants it and how he wants it. Walton, a prominent NBA analyst, and former NBA champion has also attested to this. “When I watch LeBron, I can never figure out what the best part of his game is. In any particular game, he can be the BEST shooter, passer, dribbler, rebounder, defender, shot blocker, screener, he does everything, & he is still doing it better than everyone else,” said Walton.
Walton appeared on the Dan Patrick Show and speaking of the 4 x NBA champion, he said that he was amazed by Bron’s longevity. The former NBA great was impressed with LeBron’s ability to attack the rim. He added that even at this age Laker star’s ability to remain active on the court is just impressive. “One of the things that blows me away about LeBron is he is 38 and he is still the most active guy in the game. He is running so fast, attacking the rim and throwing it down and he shoots jumpers,” said Walton.

LeBron James changed his game and now it’s paying off in his 20th year in the league
The 4 x league MVP LeBron is one of the most versatile players the game has ever seen. What distinguishes him are his passing abilities and field vision. It’s incredibly uncommon to find a player with his combination of size and point guard abilities. Magic Johnson was the only player to have this in the past. He has a unique ability to read and break the defense at his will. It was on full display when the Lakers cut the 25 points deficit against the Portland Trail Blazers to win the game.
When he started his career he wasn’t a good shooter and most of his game depended on his ability to attack the paint. He also has a unique quality to make players around him elevate their game. Despite miles on his legs and playing for two decades, somehow the Lakers star has been able to maintain his unique qualities. At 38, he is averaging 30.2 points, 8.5 rebounds, and 7 assists per game, which is historically and statistically unprecedented.
