LeBron James is in the twilight of his career

LeBron James has been in the league for about 20 years. This was the 19th All-Star game he has played in the league. James also tied up Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s record for most All-Star appearances in NBA history.

‘The King’ has been dominating the game for so long that he plays with players 10-15 years younger than him. For instance, Ja Morant was only four years old when LeBron James was drafted into the league.

All things aside, this also shows James’ longevity as an athlete. Hopefully, ‘The King’ will break the most All-Star appearances by the time he retires from the league.
