<p>LeBron James is one of the <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/621671-lebron-james-calls-out-nba-officials" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">greatest players of all time</a>. As of right now, he is 38 years old, and he is still playing at an incredibly high level. Additionally, he is just 315 points behind Kareem Abdul-Jabbar for the all-time scoring record. Once LeBron breaks that record, many will be <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/615561-did-lebron-james-just-hint-at-retirement" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">having new conversations about him.</a></p>



<p>Once again, LeBron had a fantastic game, last night. His Lakers defeated the Houston Rockets, and he put up 48 points in the process. Overall, it was one of those matches that just proves <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/620114-lebron-james-supports-bronny-during-senior-ceremony-watch" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">how unmatched his longevity truly is</a>. No one in the history of the league has ever been this good for this long. </p>

<h2 id="h-lebron-and-father-time">LeBron And <a href="/profile/Father" class="text-word" target="_blank" >Father</a> Time</h2>



<p>LeBron is so old that he is now playing against the sons of men he&#8217;s already played against. A prime example of this is Jabari Smith Jr., whose father played in the NBA when James was just a rookie. In fact, LeBron&#8217;s first-ever game was against the Sacramento Kings, who boasted Smith&#8217;s talents.</p>



<p>Smith Jr. was quick to remind LeBron of that during a fun viral moment on the court. Below, you can see Smith Jr. interacting with the Lakers superstar. This is where he reveals that his father played James in his first game back in 2003. LeBron was simply dumbfounded, and it was only made funnier when Smith said &#8220;You feel old, don&#8217;t you?&#8221;</p>
