Rivers also mentioned LeBron James’s status as the greatest of all times during the live session, saying, The fact that he is 36-37 years old still doing what he is doing in the NBA… It’s gonna be hard not to make a case when he is done playing, he is gonna be the greatest of all time, just due to how the back-end of his career is still. Dude’s a top player in the NBA. At like 36-37 years old. That’s just silly man.”
