LeBron James Aims to Become NBA's Oldest All-Star at 43

According to recent reports, NBA superstar LeBron James is likely to start the 2025-26 season as a member of the Los Angeles Lakers, despite ongoing trade rumors. This will mark his 23rd NBA season, a new league record.

Looking ahead, there is a "legit possibility" that the 40-year-old James could continue playing for two more seasons beyond this upcoming campaign, potentially playing until the age of 43. This would greatly enhance his legacy in terms of longevity, as he has already become the oldest player named to the All-NBA Second Team.

If James manages to keep playing at a high level and aging gracefully, he could have a shot at becoming the oldest player ever selected to the NBA All-Star team, a record currently held by the legendary Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. Reaching 25 seasons in the league would be a remarkable feat, as it would be a long time before another NBA player matches that level of longevity.
