LeBron James averages better numbers at 41 than during his time with the Miami Heat

It's a scandal difficult to define and explain for those who are not in the day-to-day of the NBA. Decades will pass, and those who read NBA statistics sheets of Lebron James will be amazed to see how he has been anchoring himself in the elite for 20 years, breaking records, and showing an extraordinary longevity.

How is it possible? That is the question that crosses the minds of all those who witness night after night an exhibition after another by Lebron James. After a timid start to the season, the King is proving that he is still one of the best players in the world and is in a position to compete for important things with Los Angeles Lakers. Only the team's weakness prevents the Angelinos from being strong contenders for the ring, but nothing can be criticized about a fully unleashed LeBron.

Left is LeBron in Miami. Right is LeBron since turning 41.

Evidence of this is that he records better numbers than in the overall calculation of his years with Miami Heat, recognized by many as some of the most prolific of his career. While it is true that he shared the spotlight with Wade and Bosh and that there has been a clear inflation in statistical production in today's NBA compared to those years, seeing a 41-year-old player score more, shoot better, grab more rebounds, and distribute more assists than himself in his best years is simply amazing. How far will Lebron James go?
