LeBron’s 19th Season
In a sport where Father Time typically limits even the best of the best players by age 35, LeBron James continues to push off the inevitable with his on-court production.
Despite being the fourth-oldest player in the NBA in 2021-22, turning 37 in December, LeBron still delivered at an unprecedented statistical level for Year 19.
He finished second in scoring with 30.3 points per game*, adding 8.2 boards, 6.2 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.1 blocks. He converted an efficient 52.4 percent from the field and 35.9 percent from three, making a career-high 2.9 triples per game.
Officially, LeBron missed the qualifier for the scoring title won by Joel Embiid (30.6) by two games.
