As a future first-ballot Hall of Famer, LeBron James is no stranger to collecting accolades. And, with the Lakers superstar preparing for his 21st NBA season, James’s longevity has garnered him another milestone: becoming the NBA’s oldest player.
The 38-year-old James, as unbelievable as it may be, will play out his sixth year in L.A. as the league’s elder statesman, a fact the four-time NBA champion appeared shocked to learn on Thursday.
A short clip shared by the NBA featured an amusing, meme-worthy scream in response to the future NBA trivia fact by James, who later continued to feign his surprise with a round of screaming emojis on X (formerly Twitter).
