In NBA history, there are very few players who have been able to play for more than 20 consecutive seasons, and only 11 players have achieved this feat.

Professional data: 27.0 points, 7.5 rebounds, 7.4 assists, 1.5 steals, 0.7 blocks (average, the same below)

James' durability has almost become a legend. Even in the late 30s, he still maintains the All-Star level and maintains top competitiveness in offense, organization, defense and other statistics. Compared with other 20+ season players, James not only has the largest number of seasons, but he has almost no significant decline in high-level performance. The "longest river" is well-deserved!
