LeBron James hit the game winning shot at the 2022 NBA All-Star game. He finished with 24 points, 8 assists, 6 rebounds, and 3 steals. Team LeBron won 163 -160, over Team Durant. After 19 seasons, LeBron is having one of the best year’s of his career. The NBA All-Star weekend was celebrating the 75 greatest players of all-time. Let’s compare Akron’s greatest athlete, to those who were honored on Sunday.

LeBron James, 37 years old: 27 points, 7.9 rebounds, and 6.5 assists per game.
Clyde Drexler, 35 years old: 18 points, 4.9 rebounds, and 5.4 assists per game.
Isiah Thomas, 32 years old: 14.8 points, 2.4 rebounds, and 6.p assists per game.
Scottie Pippen, 38 years old: 5.9 points, 3 rebounds, and 2.2 assists per game.
Michael Jordan, 39 years old: 20 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 6.1 assists per game.
Charles Barkley, 38 years old: 14 points, 10 rebounds, and 3.2 assists per game.
Dominque Wilkins, 39 years old: 5 points, 2 rebounds, and 1.5 assists per game.

“Fan boys” love having the greatest of all-time conversations. But, that is for corner bars, the internet, and parties. It is not for sports articles because it is all based on opinions. Everyone is entitled to their opinion on who the GOAT is, but they are not entitled to their own set of facts. The Facts are no one has done what LeBron has, this late in their career. He is still the best player on the Los Angeles Lakers and he is doing all of this in his 19th year in the league. For that, he deserves all the credit in the world. Even from his haters… like Skip Bayless.
