LeBron James continues to excel at 38.

If you are a LeBron James fan, then you know that he turns 38 years old today. It is quite amazing to witness LeBron these days. At this age, he continues to be one of the best players in the entire NBA. Overall, this is unheard of for a player that is so close to the age of 40.

However, LeBron has been able to make it look very easy. This season, he is averaging close to 28 points per game. Additionally, he is closing in on Kareem's scoring record. Early on in the New Year, it seems like it is likely that he will end up smashing that record.

Everything LeBron James does is impressive at this point. Sure, he may have his haters, however, he continues to excel and that is all that matters. The only thing he is truly missing right now is a team that can help him win that fifth title to match Kobe.
