“This Is Genuinely Mind-Blowing”: Fans Go Wild as Serena Williams Revelation Shows Her Longevity Compared to LeBron James, Tom Brady and Tim Duncan

Last season, at 37, LeBron James averaged more than 30 points per game. Even though the Los Angeles Lakers had a poor season, James more than played his part whenever he appeared on the court. In his nineteenth season in the league, James was in the running for the scoring title. And he is ready to step into his twentieth season now.

Over the years, James has won multiple accolades along the way in his long career. He has also talked about his desire to play with his son, Bronny James, in the NBA when he is eligible.

That has never happened in the NBA. Such is the longevity of the four-time NBA champion. If you are talking about longevity in professional sports, you can’t ignore NFL superstar Tom Brady. While the Cleveland Cavaliers drafted James in 2003, the New England Patriots drafted Brady in 2000.
