Happy Birthday, LeBron!

Tuesday December 30, 2008

LeBron James

Happy 24th birthday, LeBron James... wait, 24?!?!?! Doesn't it seem like LBJ has been around longer than what his age would indicate? Of course, he did come straight out of high school, but still. It's ridiculous to think that James can actually still get better. (A collective groan comes forth from every NBA team besides the Cleveland Cavaliers).

Seriously, look at what he has already accomplished in such a short time by clicking on his Basketball-Reference.com page. Scroll down towards the end to see his list of awards. You'll also notice his Hall of Fame probability being 99%... not surprising at all. BUT there are still many seasons in James' future because he... just... turned... 24. The guy not only can make someone feel unathletic, but old too.

Thanks, LeBron... I'm sure you'll have a great day. I'll try to have one too.

...24...
