The Los Angeles Lakers have not had the season that many fans had anticipated following what was considered a strong offseason. Following an inspiring win in the championship game in the NBA’s inaugural in-season tournament, the Lakers have struggled to win games hovering around .500 basketball this season. Despite that, Lakers star LeBron James has continued to play at an elite level as the oldest player in the league. His longevity has been so crazy that he’s now played against 35 percent of the players in NBA history.

LeBron James has been one of the only consistent players for the Lakers this season even with the amount of mileage he has. James has started in all 37 games he’s played in and he’s playing a little over 34 minutes per game. He’s been averaging 24.7 points per game, 7.2 rebounds, 7.5 assists and 1.4 steals with splits of 52.4 percent shooting from the field, 39 percent shooting from the three point line and 72.8 percent shooting from the free throw line.

Now in his 21st season in the NBA, James has played in a total of 1458 NBA regular season games and 282 playoff games. He’s been an All-Star every season of his career so far with the exception of his rookie year in 2003-04.

James is a four-time NBA champion and has won titles with three different franchises. It’s unknown how much longer James will play but there’s no question he’s still operating at a high level. He has a player option in his contract this offseason and he’s let it be known that he wants to play at least one season with his son Bronny in the NBA. Bronny will be eligible for the NBA Draft following this season at USC.
