Superstar LeBron James celebrated his 40th birthday on Monday, the milestone carrying him to yet another first in a league in which he has starred for more than two decades — with the clock still running. The Los Angeles Lakers great will become the first NBA player ever to play in his teens, 20s, 30s and 40s. ▲ Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (right) and Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander compete for a loose ball during an NBA Cup game on Nov 29 in Los Angeles. AP A four-time champion, four-time NBA Most Valuable Player and four-time Finals MVP, James continues to excel. In his 22nd season he's averaging 23.5 points, nine assists and 7.5 rebounds per game. Having surpassed Kareem Abdul-Jabbar as the league's all-time scoring leader in February of 2023, he has taken his total to 41,131. Still in his sights is the record for baskets made — James's 15,088 trailing Abdul-Jabbar's 15,837 — and the record for most games played.
