Lebron James turns 39 with impressive Hall of Fame record

One of the greatest NBA writers, Russ Benston, once suggested that one day LeBron James would retire and officially join the ranks of American professional basketball legends. "It turns out, LeBron will have his time like any other big name, and he will retire sooner than we hoped," this moment was posted on December 30, 2014, on James's 30th birthday.

LeBron James deserves to be inducted into the Hall of Fame.

Going back nine years, when all the speculation was that James would soon retire, who would have thought that it was only after turning 30 that James truly reached his peak? He scored more points in a single season, with a point average exceeding both Sam Jones and Tim Hardaway throughout the Hall of Fame.

That's not even counting his over 4,600 rebounds and 4,600 assists, nearly 750 steals and 400 blocks—numbers that are practically unprecedented. Furthermore, LeBron James has been selected to the All-Star game 9 times, won 9 NBA MVP awards, been named MVP of the season, participated in the NBA Finals 5 times, won 2 NBA championships, and 2 Finals MVP titles...

Lebron James (23) is still playing hard at the age of 39.

Nine years later, we still see a James who is resilient and passionate every time he steps onto the court. Currently, he has scored more points than any other player in NBA history. The superstar born in 1984 ranks in the top 5 of all time for assists and in the top 10 for steals. With these achievements, James has every right to be proud, as at the age of 39 he is still tirelessly playing and accumulating individual and team titles.

Approaching the middle of his 21st season, LeBron is still performing like a top 10 player, averaging over 25 points, 7 rebounds, and 7 assists per game. These numbers undeniably prove that there is no dispute about James's title as the greatest basketball player of all time.
