LeBron James turned 40 years old Monday, and, while speaking to reporters on his birthday, admitted he never thought he'd still be playing pro basketball at this age. But here James is, on the precipice of making unprecedented NBA history as he prepares to take the court as a quadragenarian for the first time in his career on Tuesday night against his former team, the Cleveland Cavaliers.
James, dealing with an illness, is listed as questionable for the contest against Cleveland at Crpto.com Arena. Provided he plays Tuesday, James will become the first player in league history to play a game as both a teenager and a 40-year-old, according to SportsCenter.
