LeBron James has been around a long, long time, which has given many people an opportunity to sum up how incredible he is.
The latest to try is former Milwaukee Bucks sharpshooter Michael Redd, himself an NBA All-Star. And in Redd's latest social media post, he may have summed up the improbability of the Los Angeles Lakers' legend as well as anyone has.
This is what Redd posted:
LJ and I played against each other his rookie year (and beyond). I played almost another decade + I’ve been retired more than a decade…and he’s still doing this! 🤯 https://t.co/3zuygtQhNk

That really does capture it. LeBron came to the NBA out of high school, and now he's 41, and he's still chugging along.
The post Redd interacted with showed LeBron's last three stat lines, games that included 31, 26 and 30 points.
Those are the three-highest point totals ever scored in an NBA game by a player 41 years or older.
Before LeBron, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar held that record at 25 points. James has surpassed it in all three games since he turned 41.
A stat came out the other day that LeBron played against Kevin Willis in his career, and Willis is now 63. Just the other day, James played against 19-year-old Cooper Flagg.
There's another stat circulating that James has played against more than one-third of the players who have ever suited up in the NBA.
Everything about LeBron feels impossible. But not for him.
