With Andre Iguodala’s retirement today, LeBron James is now the oldest player in the NBA. How many of you still have him in the Top-20?
I still think that LeBron James at the ripe age of 38 can still hang with the best players in NBA. As long as you stay an athletic freak, you can still compete.
Assuming he’s healthy there’s no doubt he’s top 20.

He’s easily still top 20, I think he’s still top 10.

He put a ring on it. Top 5 until he retires.

Undoubtedly top 20

Lebron is top 3-5 easily. I’d only rate kd higher because he’s a better shooter and younger. Lebrons ball iq is top in the league, he’s hardly ever out a long period of time. Curious who people put ahead of him besides KD. Steph is also a better shooter but that’s all Steph has on him.

Top 5. Jokic, Giannis, Curry, Lebron, and one of Luka/Jimmy

38 years old and in his 21st season. He’s going for his 20th All-NBA team.
He’s arguably top 10 this season. Top 15 at worst
He’s also the fucking Goat.

He’s top 10 still lmao
If anyone doesn’t have him top 20 you should immediately stop listening to their basketball opinions

Everyone has him still in their top-20.
If not, they’re not a serious basketball fan.

It’ll never happen because I don’t think he’d be interested in the job, but LeBron could probably go another 5-6 years and come off the bench for a low level team if he wanted to.
His ability to get up and down the court would obviously be a problem the older he gets, but…
When he’s on offense, you’d still have to guard and maybe even double team him in many situations. He’s a great passer and he’s obviously not a guy you can just give open looks to.
Then, on defense, we’re still talking about a guy with considerable size and strength that isn’t going to just evaporate overnight. He may not be your ace defender, but off the bench, he’s probably still gonna be one of any team’s top 7-8 defenders.
Throw in the fact that, like Shaq in his final years, a franchise gets to market him and sell some tickets and have him for advertising and whatnot – he brings value just being on your team as long as he’s not a huge egomaniac who destroys your locker room (like Jordan did on the Wizards).
But, again, I don’t think James wants to win 6-Man of the Year Award, even though I think he undeniably could.
