LeBron James is one of the best athletes to have ever lived. His physical prowess has been long recognized by everyone, and even at 36, he is still capable of impressive athletic feats. His longevity is also something that

Prior to the recent Rockets-Lakers matchup, rookie Jalen Green lauded LeBron James' longevity and claimed that he looks at LeBron James "like a superhero", as the superstar has been in the league for quite some time, and is "still moving the way he's moving" despite all the miles on his body.

You kind of look at LeBron like a super hero in a way. The way he carries himself, he’s been in the league for so long and he’s still moving the way he’s moving, putting millions on his body it’s just showing that’s paying off and he’s still healthy.

LeBron James' insane longevity means that he could potentially surpass Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's all-time points record. That would be quite an impressive achievement. Lakers legend Shaquille O'Neal has notably claimed that "we all got to shut the h*ll up" if LeBron James manages to break the record, as he'll have a very legitimate GOAT case.

While Michael Jordan is widely viewed as the GOAT, there is no doubt that LeBron James is the GOAT for many players in the new generation. In fact, the most recent No. 1 pick, Cade Cunningham, has LeBron James as the GOAT over Michael Jordan. While he may never be unanimously recognized as the GOAT, LeBron James was clearly an inspiration to many hoopers.

It remains to be seen if LeBron James will win another championship this year, but if he manages to do so while being 36, that will be a great addition to his resume. The Los Angeles Lakers have a lot of star power this year after adding Russell Westbrook, but LeBron James will be the key figure in their chase for a title.
