James made his NBA debut as an 18-year-old rookie with the Cavaliers on Oct. 29, 2003, pouring in 25 points in a loss to the Sacramento Kings. Now, at 40 years old, James—and his former team—will once again be the answer to a sports trivia question for years to come should he take the court Tuesday night.

Since joining in 2018, James has not only reinvigorated the franchise with a championship but also forged a deep bond with the team. This connection was further cemented when they selected his son, Bronny James, as the No. 55 pick in the NBA Draft, fulfilling the dream of playing alongside his son and ticking off an item on his NBA bucket list.

Sure, James' numbers are likely going to decline the deeper into his 40s he plays. But at least at his point of entry, he is far and away the greatest 40-year-old basketball player of all time. And so, with apologies to urkle91, James isn't just defying the typical NBA age curve, he's completely shattering it.
