James, you are too strong, Jordan holds a record for many years, and is broken by you at the age of 40

Every year, a group of veterans in the NBA will retire, because as they grow older, a decline in athletic ability is an inevitable phenomenon, and their physical strength can no longer keep up with young people. In the fierce NBA league, it is naturally difficult for veterans to match the strength of young people on both offense and defense. In today's NBA league, the oldest player is James, who is over 40 years old. In addition, players such as Paul, Tucker, Gibson, Jeff Green, Lowry, Temple, etc. are also veterans, and they are getting closer and closer to retirement. Among the above veterans, except for James, their average score per game is below 10 points. Paul is still good, but other players are basically marginal figures of major teams and have very little playing time. However, James is an exception. Although he is over 40 years old, his performance on the field is still top-notch, and even changed many fans' impression of a 40-year-old veteran.

As a core player of the Lakers, James played 70 games in the regular season this year. In addition to his brief absence due to a groin injury, his attendance rate has been stable. He still averages 35 minutes per game and has 18.1 shots, which is an absolute stamina. James scored a comprehensive data average of 24.4 points, 7.8 rebounds and 8.2 assists per game, and has a 51.3% shooting percentage, and his offensive efficiency is still very high. Thick eyebrows were traded, Doncic was injured for a long time, and James led the Lakers to a record of 50 wins and 32 losses, ranking third in the West. Personal performance and team leadership ability are excellent. On the playoff stage, although the Lakers were eliminated by the Timberwolves in the first round, James' personal performance was still good. He averaged 25.4 points, 9 rebounds, 5.6 assists per game, and his shooting percentage was 49%. He still maintained excellent offensive and defensive performance and was a perfect superstar small forward.

So after the MVP ballot was announced, James won 1 fourth vote and 13 fifth votes, with a total score of 16 points. Although there is no hope of competing for MVP in this vote, James successfully broke Jordan's record that year. In the 2001-02 season, Jordan scored 22.9 points, 5.7 rebounds and 5.2 assists per game. He performed well with the Wizards and was also an All-Star starting guard back then. At that time, he successfully won the MVP vote and was 39 years old.

Jordan became the oldest player to win MVP votes at that time, and fans were also lamenting his strength. Since then, this record has been covered with dust for many years. Until James, who won MVP votes at the age of 40, successfully breaking the record held by Jordan.
