LeBron James Triple Double Streak Proves He's Ageless

LeBron James made his NBA debut on October 29, 2003. The league has crowned 21 World Champions since then, and James has won nearly 20% of them. The United States has seen four different presidents, and one dollar then, is worth $1.72 today. Quite a bit has changed in the last 21 years, but one thing has remained the same.

The only thing that could overshadow Victor Wembanyama going for 28 and 14 against the Lakers, is King James getting his 117th career triple-double, and his fourth in four games. James will turn 40 years old on December 30, but he's playing like he's still 19.

What is not debatable, is he is having the greatest season in the history of any player, age 39 or older. The LeBron James triple double streak is just the tip of the iceberg.
