LeBron James of the Los Angeles Lakers has now been in the NBA for 20 years.
During that time, he has accomplished so many things, winning four championship rings and claiming multiple historic feats.
He has played so well for so long that even other NBA superstars are in awe of him.
Boston Celtics big man Al Horford sat down with The Old Man and the Three podcast and opened up about one moment with James that blew his mind.
Speaking about the 2018 Eastern Conference Finals, Horford said:
“About four minutes to go in the fourth quarter…I’m looking at [the Celtics and] myself, we’re gassed. [LeBron’s] played every single minute and he looked unfazed.”

Some people have called James’ playoff run in 2018 an incredible example of his power and skill.
It’s not surprising to hear other players comment on just how sensational he was.
During that series featuring James’ Cleveland Cavaliers against the Boston Celtics, he put up 33.6 points, 9 rebounds, and 8.4 assists.
He was playing like a man who was trying to carry his whole team.
Of course, it didn’t work out in his favor.
Although the Cavaliers beat the Celtics in the Eastern Conference Finals, they would later be destroyed by the Golden State Warriors in the Finals.
Still, James’ play was something to behold.
Since that time, he has moved on to the Lakers, where he has won another ring and set several huge NBA records.
He is now 38 years old and nearing the end of his career.
But he still plays hard with power and speed that someone his age typically never has.
Horford, and many others, are still astonished by what James can do.
