I know, LeBron James is an all-around player. He is not a pure scorer. He doesn’t have a jump shot or an effective free throw. But he’s the same man to whom Kevin Durant and every other NBA player trail in almost every scoring category. From the fastest to 4,000 to 10,000, or fastest to 20,000. He’s the fastest in each of these categories. And last season only, he broke Kobe Bryant’s fastest to 30,000 points record as well.

The best thing about LeBron is his durability. He’s the fittest athlete in any sport. He takes care of his body better than anybody else and the evidence to that fact is that even at the age of 33 he’s bullying players 10 years younger than him.

Another very interesting fact in favor of LeBron is that he was younger than his ultimate competitor Kareem Abdul-Jabbar when he had reached the feet of 30,000 points. LeBron was of 33 years when he reached this feat while Abdul-Jabbar was of 36 years old when he reached this feat. That’s a huge 3 years advantage in LeBron’s favor.

It’s going to be interesting to see how the future unfolds and what history these three or any other NBA player is going to make.
