    Default Looks like Bron's prime ended at 35

    Just like MJ...these two really do stand at the top of the NBA.

    10 year prime like a lot of guys. He was lucky to win the scrimmage ball title in 2020 when he was already pretty much washed up

    How'd Kawhi do during scrimmage ball in 2020 while 6 years younger than washed up LeBron?

    Prime to me is when you are playing your best ball or close to it. From that standpoint, LeBron's prime most certainly ended with 2018. 2020 LeBron, while still pretty good, is a faaaar cry from 09-18 LeBron.

    He dominated until he was 1 game away from conference finals, then realised the bubble was f'n stupid and left.

    Remmeber, shams reported that both lakers and clippers voted to leave the bubble and that was like late 1st roundish.

    Nobody in their 17th season, with that much milage (not even counting his Olympic play) is considered still in his prime.

    Nah, Lebron was the best player in the 2020 playoffs. He was still in his prime.

    Bro played 21 games those playoffs and put up 30.2 PER, 64.7 TS%, and a 10.6 BPM. Capped it with FMVP.

    Lebron has missed a TON of games since then and his body hasn't seemed to recover.

    Lebron managed to extend his prime by not playing defense. But tbh I agree with his allocation of how to expend his energy. The energy to make a stop on one end was the same as running 3 plays on the other. But make no mistake his 2018 run had a lot to do with him playing only on one end.

    LeClonk's prime ended in 2010.

    Everything else was a result of team-hopping and ball-domination tactics.

    Lebron's prime ended when he stopped playing D.

    2020 LeBron had his sixth 30.0 Playoff PER through the Finals. To give you an idea of how incredible a 30.0 PER through the Finals is, I've compiled a list of all the other players to have ever done this even once in their careers:

    Jordan and Shaq

    We done here?
