LeBron James turns 40 on Monday, and the Los Angeles Lakers star is about to join a small list of NBA players who have been in the league at that age.

When LeBron James broke another NBA record earlier this month, the one for most regular-season minutes played in a career, his Los Angeles Lakers teammates handled the moment in typical locker room fashion.

THE Merriam-Webster dictionary defines “FATHER TIME” as: “Time personified, especially as a bearded old man holding a scythe and an hourglass.” But what about a 40-year-old bearded old man who holds a basketball, has played 1,520 NBA games, about 70,000 NBA minutes, and scored nearly 50,000 points?

LeBron could have gone to Germany for a medical procedure or just a holiday. Nothing is known in the public sphere. The PED allegations gained a lot of traction after UFC legend Chael Sonnen claimed on the Flagrant podcast that LeBron takes steroids to enhance his output on the hardwood.

Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James surpassed six-time NBA MVP Kareem Abdul-Jabbar for the most minutes played in league history Thursday, adding another major record to his career resume.

LeBron James is still playing at a high level in his 22nd NBA season, but is it enough to deserve inclusion on the All-Star team?

LeBron James has put together arguably the most impressive career in the history of the NBA during his time with the Los Angeles Lakers, Miami Heat, and hometown Cleveland Cavaliers.
