He was just a role player, but he was very reliable and very healthy. Missing all that time early in his career might have let him stay fresh for his late career.

Lebron has got to be having the best season ever for a 38 year old.

It really is insane

At age 38 Kareem was All-NBA 1st team, won Finals MVP and finished 5th in the regular MVP. Oh and his team won the title

kimdaddy35

Yep. People forget about this

Kareem also was playing on one of the greatest teams of all time. LeBron has

Blueto

At 38 Kareem was smart enough to realize he’s not a GM.

DiamondMo

Or a politician.

Lebron picked his team.

Keeping afloat? LA is in last place in its division.

SierraCoug

Only 4 games separate the 4th place and 13th place team

JoeExotic

Lebron deserves every part of playing for crappy teams. His GM skills suck

Medute

1/30/23 10:59pm

Your point being that Kareem's numbers were worth something and Lebron's hollow? Mostly true.

kimdaddy35

1/30/23 10:59pm

At least on offense he is ...

ManicBlue

1/30/23 11:24pm

Uhhhhh. Who is to blame for this?

COACHdrn

1/31/23 7:01am

His individual season was not as good as Lebrons is.

Jay Kay

1/30/23 11:03pm

Then why did he accomplish things like First Team All NBA that Lebron won't?

kimdaddy35

1/30/23 11:08pm

Not to be pedantic.

Blue Cat

1/30/23 11:25pm

Seems like Hakeem shoulda been 1st team looking at the stats

PHXSUNS31

1/30/23 11:44pm

Probably, but Hakeem wasn’t a legend yet.

Blue Cat

1/31/23 12:01am

I never subscribed to the hollow numbers theory as long as the player is out

Jay Kay

1/30/23 11:31pm

Respect what he does on the court. GM LBJ ruined the current Lakers team.

NYC and Japan

1/31/23 7:34am

That’s a valid criticism

Jay Kay

1/31/23 8:31am

10 pts and 4 rb per game vs 30 pts and 8 rbs and 7 asst. hmmmmm

buckeyecougarguy

1/30/23 11:24pm

I guess at 38 Kareem had like 23, 6. I guess being 5 inches taller doesn’t help

Thanks Bill

Closest two at age 38

Blueto

1/30/23 10:46pm

The Jordan season was very inefficient…I think Malone or Stockton are closer

PHXSUNS31

1/30/23 10:52pm

He's putting up meaningless stats. He won't be All NBA nor 5th in the MVP

kimdaddy35

1/30/23 11:03pm

He won’t be 1st team, but I think he’s definitely headed for 2nd or 3rd

PHXSUNS31

1/30/23 11:04pm

Agreed. Putting up big numbers on a better team is more difficult. What he is doing is impressive, but I would still

kimdaddy35

1/30/23 11:07pm

Fair, I think Kareem had an awesome season…though having Magic helped a ton

PHXSUNS31

1/30/23 11:11pm

Teams only worry about stopping him without AD in lineup. He sees all kinds

Blueto

1/30/23 11:11pm

I see AD and think Adrian Dantley

dratax

1/31/23 12:18am

He’s playing at an mvp level and if he had a great team around him, he would be

Jay Kay

1/30/23 11:08pm

GM LBJ is the reason the Laker team around him is not good.

NYC and Japan

1/31/23 7:36am

41, 9, and 8 in an OT loss at the best team in the NBAs court? Meaningless?

Blueto

1/30/23 11:19pm

I don’t get why his stats are meaningless. Because his team isn’t elite?

Mr. Rumsfield

1/31/23 7:44am

Hard to compare MJ for several reasons:

Gentleman Stan

1/31/23 4:46am

You kind of want it both ways. LeBron sits out games. MJ sat out entire seasons

Blueto

1/31/23 7:30am

Wait, you believe that 3 years of no professional basketball in a changing game

Gentleman Stan

1/31/23 8:52am

From a wear and tear perspective 100%

Blueto

1/31/23 9:12am

Alternatively, you could go with reality. MJ took two years off, came back and

Gentleman Stan

1/31/23 10:30am

Reality is nice, here's some. MJ didn't take TWO years off. He played in 94-95

Blueto

1/31/23 11:00am

Ok. One season and 79% of the next season.

Gentleman Stan

1/31/23 3:29pm

That's the thing about MJ stans. They think he only played 6 seasons, not 15

Blueto

1/31/23 3:50pm

MJ never missed the playoffs until age 39, and advanced to the Second Round or

Gentleman Stan

But that tantrum though 🤡

eyebleedblu

1/30/23 10:48pm

MVP-level tantrum.

Only 8 guys have even averaged 30 minutes a game at 38 or older

PHXSUNS31

1/30/23 10:51pm

Those last three on the list shocked me.

Lebron’s performance is very exciting for Lebron.

Vert der Frick

1/30/23 11:16pm

What advice would you give Lebron to improve his teammates?

Jay Kay

1/30/23 11:38pm

Stop trying to be the GM & stop insisting that you’ll only play w/ your friends

BYU Fan

1/31/23 6:03am

Valid criticism

Jay Kay

1/31/23 8:32am

Stop being the GM, whining about everything and opining on politics. LeKaren!
