LeBron James is embarking on his 21st NBA season. While only a few players have reached the 20-season mark, James is determined to challenge the notion of age. Udonis Haslem retired from the Miami Heat in July, and Andre Iguodala decided to hang his jersey following the 2022 season. Despite the Golden State Warriors expressing an open-door policy for Iguodala, there is little to no expectation of his return. This solidifies LeBron James as the league’s oldest active player.

James will turn 39 in the middle of the 2023 season. Nonetheless, he is coming off a run where he outperformed his entire All-NBA career in terms of statistics. LeBron’s remarkable longevity has sparked numerous serious debates. However, a recent conversation sheds light on this remarkable aspect of his career in a hilarious fashion.

James Worthy delivers a hilarious question

During the full-throttle training camp of the Los Angeles Lakers, the team decided to conduct their interviews uniquely. They set up the interview table right in the heart of the Lakers’ El Segundo practice facility. With championship banners hanging proudly, each player took their turn behind the microphone.

A delightful twist occurred when it was LeBron James‘ turn to face the hot seat. James Worthy had a distinct and somewhat unexpected question prepared for LeBron. He prefaced it by saying, “My kids and my nieces and nephews are going to kill me for asking this question but – this is your 21st season. And one of the things they wanted me to ask you was” right before launching into the famous line from 21 Savage and Drake’s hit song, Rich Flex.

This moment sparked a cheerful and appreciative response from LeBron James. He proceeded to share a playful moment and shake hands with Worthy for his lightheartedness and benevolence.
