LeBron James is known for many things across the NBA, especially for the amount of time that he has been in the league.
James has just started his 21st season in the NBA, hoping to lead the Los Angeles Lakers to another NBA Finals appearance.
A recent post from the NBA’s official Twitter highlighted two images to demonstrate how long James has been around.

The NBA shared two photos of James 20 years apart.
Both images were in Sacramento on October 29th, and both were taken by photographer Rocky Widner.
Widner has multiple decades of NBA photography, similar years of experience to James and his on-court prowess.
The most recent photo of James showed him throwing down a massive dunk in the Lakers eventual loss to the Sacramento Kings.
The Lakers have now started the season with a 1-2 record after losses to the Kings and Denver Nuggets.
If they want to get back on track, getting their season going in the right direction, James will need to get back to his old ways, hoping to pull together more vintage performances.
He finished this game with 27 points, 15 rebounds, and 8 assists, nearly recording his first triple-double of the season.
While this is a dominant game for a player in their thirties, it still was not enough to take down the Kings who have a young, exciting roster.
Players like Anthony Davis, Austin Reaves, and D’Angelo Russell will need to pull their weight for the rest of the season for the Lakers to have success moving forward.
