James 21 best teams are shocking! Jordan Kobe Duncan combined to tie him, and he is still the league s storefront at the age of 39

Basketball

NBA officially announced the list of the 2024-25 season's best team. The 39-year-old LeBron James was selected for the Best Second Team without any suspense, setting a new record of unprecedented and difficult future generations - 21 times in his career, unique in history! What is the concept of the best team in

21 times? The total glory of Jordan + Kobe + Duncan!

James's achievements in being selected into the Best Team 21 times completely overturned the NBA's historical evaluation system. As a comparison:

Jordan (11 times) + Kobe (15 times) + Duncan (15 times) = 41 times, but the number of personal best teams of these three legends combined is barely twice that of James.

Kobe, Duncan and Jabbar, second in history, all had 15 times, and James had a full six seasons more than them, which was equivalent to the entire career length of an All-Star player.

Durant and Curry are both closest to service, and even if they remain healthy in the future, it is almost impossible to catch up with James.

What's even more terrifying is that since 2005, James has been selected for the best team for 21 consecutive seasons (except for rookie seasons), which means that his peak period has run through from "OK combination" to "Warriors Dynasty" to today's "Rise of the New Generation", and is still standing across three eras.

39-year-old second team + playoff killer god, he is still rewriting the definition of "aging"

This season, 39-year-old James still averages 25.3 points, 7.1 rebounds, 8.3 assists per game, with a shooting percentage of up to 54%. In the playoffs, he carried the team many times at critical moments, proving that he is still the top combat power in the league. In contrast:

Jordan averaged only 20 points per game with the Wizards at the age of 39 and did not make the playoffs;

Kobe's condition dropped sharply after a ruptured Achilles tendon at the age of 34;

Duncan averaged only 13.9 points per game at the age of 38, and transformed into a blue-collar worker.

James' "reverse growth" performance completely broke the curse of "athletes will decline at the age of 35."

From "Son of Chosen" to "Historical Specimen", what is James' ultimate goal? Behind the 21st best team is James' ultimate management of the body, his continuous evolution of technology, and his almost paranoid desire to win. He no longer needs to prove himself with data, but every record refresh is strengthening his historical position:

The first in total score in history (breaking through 50,000 points is imminent);

The playoff score, assists and steals dominate the list;

The only player who led three different teams to win the championship + FMVP.

Now, he may only have two goals left: competing with Brownie and winning another championship for the Lakers.

Conclusion: James' existence itself is a miracle in basketball history

When fans argued about "GOAT (Best in History), Jordan had the legend of 6 championships, but James used his 21 years of everlasting dominance to redefine the standard of "great" - not a brief summit, but an eternal peak. Even if players' data surpass him in the future, it will be difficult to reproduce the shock of "cross-era crushing". As netizens joked: "Jordan is a god, but James is the one who races with God and eventually catches up."
