LeBron James is entering his 22nd season in the NBA after starting his NBA career in the 2003 season. Moreover, his eldest son, Bronny James, also entered the league, letting the father and son be the lone active father-son duo in the NBA.
Despite his lengthy career, LeBron shows no signs of slowing down. In a recent appearance on the “Club520 podcast,” hosted by former NBA player Jeff Teague, DeMar DeRozan and Teague discussed LeBron’s remarkable athleticism and dominance on the court. DeRozan spoke highly of LeBron’s skills while reflecting on the difficulty of facing him.
“Yeah, that motherf***er was impossible to beat. It’s just what it was; there was no other way around it. At that time, I have arguments with people because they ask me which Bron was the best—that Miami ‘Bron and that second Cleveland Bron,” DeRozan said.
Teague shared a memorable experience from his time with the Indiana Pacers. He recalled a game in which the Pacers had a significant lead against LeBron’s team and described how LeBron’s presence was still a game-changer.
“I’ve never won a playoff game against him! One time we were up 30. I swear to God, we were up 30. I was playing for the Pacers, game 3. I’m like, ‘I finally beat this dude!’ He’s walking at halftime and says, ‘We good, we good. Y’all, everybody, keep your heads up,’” Teague said.
