Why does Lao Zhan, who is always criticized, call him the number one person in history in this regard?

There is a household name in the NBA, with the largest number of fans in the world and the largest number of black fans in the world. He is the controversial NBA superstar LeBron James. However, today's NBA superstar's words made fans realize a fact that he is the undisputed first person in history in this regard.

DeRozan said in the podcast: "Now in the league, there is such a legend. It is obvious that he is 40 years old and can no longer find an opponent in the league. This is why he is called the first person in history." DeRozan's words on the podcast have caused heated discussion.

Now, this veteran who is about to enter the 41-year-old still maintains a quasi-triple double-double average of 25 points, 7 rebounds and 8 assists per game. Judging from the data, it is obvious that the 41-year-old James still performs in the top ten in the league. However, after being eliminated by the Timberwolves in the first round of the playoffs, James's results were labeled as "not good". Behind these doubts James is actually that people habitually forget and selectively ignore James' age, and always like to compare him with young people in their twenties. In fact, James is already the first person in history in this age group. Especially since the age of 38, Jordan of the same age cannot be compared with James, so many stars recognize that James is far superior to 99% of his peers in this age group. In fact, there is only James, so among NBA stars, it has long been recognized that James is the first person in this age group.

Looking back on history James has been playing in the NBA for a full 22 years. His experience is older than many fans. It is completely believed that some of the 17-year-old young people may have watched James play since childhood, or only saw James playing at the end of his career. In the entire sports circle, being able to stand at the top of the pyramid for a long time is itself a living legend. However, some people's evaluation criteria are always changing. At his peak, he surpassed the legend; and when he was nearly 41 years old, he asked him to perform as he was not inferior to his peak. Why James is so controversial is actually a large part of the reason why fans have too harsh on him. In fact, in the league, James is the only one who can maintain such a high competitive level at the age of 40 in the entire NBA history, and there are very few in the entire sports world.

Compare the "God of Basketball" Jordan. He was no longer the scoring champion during his Wizards, and his average data was not as good as James. Carter and Lovizki averaged single digits at the age of 40. Now LeBron is about to turn 41 years old and still maintains the superstar data of 25+7+8. Those who randomly questioned Zhan was nothing more than a selective blindness. DeRozan's words remind us that people often forget that he has fought in the league for 22 years. This proves that the greatness he represents is not only his contribution, but also his self-discipline for 22 years. James' legend continues today. He told us with practical actions: time cannot defeat him, and gossip cannot crush him. This is a 41-year-old veteran who is still refreshing our understanding and imagination of legends.
