Despite nearing 40 years old, LeBron James’s fame and rank still lead the NBA, contrasting astonishingly with Stephen Curry’s ranking

At this time, LeBron James is nearly 40 years old and is no longer as energetic as before. Although the star born in 1984 is not among the top scoring athletes in the NBA 2023 – 2024, he is still an indispensable factor at the Los Angeles Lakers . At an age when many other players have retired, King James is still persistent, often having the most minutes on the team and scoring performance only worse than teammate Anthony Davis (born in 1993).

With his name and outstanding performance in a Lakers shirt, LeBron James is still a figure that attracts great attention from basketball fans. According to statistics, the Lakers’ “veteran” is the person who attracts the most views on NBA social networking platforms. Up to this point of the 2023 – 2024 season, James has 756 million views.

Meanwhile, the second place was a big surprise when it belonged to Victor Wembanyama (508 million views). This French player is only 19 years old (born in 2004) and is an NBA rookie playing for the San Antonio Spurs club. Since the beginning of the 2023 – 2024 season, this 2.24 m tall thrower has become a new phenomenon in the NBA, having played in 25 matches and scoring an average of 18.5 points/game.
