LEBRON JAMES is 38 years old. He is in Season 20 of his National Basketball Association career. He is, by conventional basketball-playing standards, ancient.Except it hasn’t. Not even close. And count that as just another example of what sets James apart from so many other greats, so many other superstars of their sport who were good enough for long enough to climb atop some lists in the record books.
Take Pete Rose, for example. Rose got his 4,192nd career hit—a record-breaker, the one where he passed Ty Cobb’s official total —on September 11, 1985. Wayne Gretzky caught Gordie Howe for the all-time National Hockey League goals record and was still every bit The Great One—his moniker for decades now. But over his last five seasons after setting the record, Gretzky’s production predictably dipped a bit. He averaged 0.25 goals and 1.1 points per game over those last five seasons, at the ages of 34 through 38. Before that, he averaged 0.71 goals and 2.2 points per game.
There are two notable exceptions to the notion that says player production almost always must drop off after setting records.
