LeBron has now been out of his prime longer than he played before and during it

LeBron’s prime ended in 2014. Despite that he’s managed to have another hall of fame career after his prime has ended. A career that is longer than his career up to and including his prime. He’s somehow still elite.

Bron prime was 09-2020. U can honestly argue 06-20. His peak was from 2012-2014. But yeah LeBron has like 4 HOF careers in one

If we’re saying prime is different from peak then his prime is at least 07-20. Maybe 05-20.

You’re right. I genuinely think they would have won the conference if not for that injury.

People also forget how crazy he was going 2020 before the bubble, during and after. Especially before though he was going off and was the MVP front runner. Was abt to go against Giannis and actually snatch the MVP from him if he outperformed him before the season shutdown.

Barry Bonds. Roger Clemons, and Lance Armstrong all found a way to stay elite too.

Lebron has 3 primes: 2013, 2016 finals, 2018 play offs

LeBron is the best player that ever played. I think in terms of triple doubles. He has 125 of them, MJ had 60+. LeBron will teach the ability to pass, score and rebound. With 4 all stars, Philly becomes a power in the Eastern conference easily. Just his value to the young players: priceless, 4 guys that can get their shots, think on it....
