The Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James has been around in the NBA for twenty years and is close to starting his year 21 in the league. During this time, James has become for many the GOAT, but still for the vast majority, he is number two just behind Michael Jordan.

Still, James has broken different records that Jordan never even dreamed to accomplish, one example is the all-time scoring record that used to belong to the Lakers showtime era legend Kareem Adbul-Jabbar but now belongs to the King.

But another record that only LeBron James has is that, at 37 years old, LeBron James was able to average 30 PPG, while no one has done it passed the 32-year-old so far.

Michael Jordan averaged 30 PPG when he was 32 years old, the same age as Steph Curry. Allen Iverson did it with 31 years Kobe Bryant with 28 years and Kevin Durant at the age of 25. No one goes beyond the 32-year-old to accomplish what LeBron James did at the age of 37, mindblowing.

LeBron James will be the first player and only one to break another record in his year 21

In the upcoming season, LeBron James is set to become the only player to score more than 40K points, and have more than 10K rebounds and more than 10K assists.
