Confirmed: Lebron is addicted to playing with balls with other grown men
Excellent roster construction and coaching from LA to have their entire offensive identity and ability to score points resting on his shoulders.
Yes, but which NBA player has spent the most time IN court?
He is the Hubie Brown of Basketball.
He’s the GOAT. It’s getting harder to deny it.
Wow
When Lebron retires, which fanbase will claim him the most?
That’ll happen when you have to play 48 minutes a game in order for your team to be competitive.
It will be a sad day when Bron hangs it up. Sure it’ll be like 2040 but still, sad.
Currently looking at active players and Chris Paul is second highest with 47,705, wild that Bron has almost 20,000 more minutes than him
46 days of playing time
Remembering that Kareem played 3 years at UCLA. I just looked it up and he played 88 games. If you assume he played 35 mpg, that’s another ~3000 minutes. Lebron will pass that amount too in a year or so.
Regardless of how you feel about him, it’s an extraordinary achievement. The guy must be a T1000 I don’t understand how he can play at this level for so long. My 36 and I am truly exhausted after a 3 mile jog
Crazy record
Longevity does that. He’ll play 25 years because he wants it to be all about him.
Master class in health management honestly. Has he ever been injured for a long stretch?
Bron broke a record? Guess LA loses today.
LeLongevity
If you took his playoff minutes alone, played them in 82 game regular seasons, played every minute every night without ever taking a breather*, he would play ≈3 seasons (2.96) straight.
*No OT though.
Officially old
I bet Kobe would have 6 championships if he had that incredible fortune to be so healthy over that many games.
All that time spent stat padding and lollygagging
Yeah but it’s only because he’s played so long….
75 minutes away from having played 38 entire days
He’s been an NBA player for longer than he’s not been an NBA player
What I find more impressive is Kareem being a 7 footer and lasting as long as he did. He also played 3 years in college.
Still not the goat lol
LBJ is 100% on PEDs
And his team still lost by close to 40 points tonight.
He is my goat I don’t care
