40-year-old James competes in the arena, and the five coaches in the league are younger than him

When LeBron James fought hard on the NBA field, among the coaches who were planning on the sidelines, there were five younger than the 40-year-old and 186-day superstar! This unique footnote to the era, revealed by the statistics of the US media NBA Retweet, vividly interprets the amazing length and height of James' career.

The young coaches are in charge, and James is still running. The two youngest coaches in the league, Joe Mazula of the Boston Celtics and Will Hardy of the Utah Jazz, are 37 years old, more than 3 years younger than James who is fighting on the battlefield. Imagine that when James had already won the league and won the first championship trophy, they might have just begun their college basketball career.

is followed closely by Brooklyn Nets' new helm Mitch Johnson, who is only 38 years old. What's even more exaggerated is that the two coaches who just turned 40 were also ahead of James: Jordan Ott of the Charlotte Hornets (40 years and 45 days) and Mark Dagenot of the Oklahoma City Thunder (40 years and 131 days). In terms of conversion, Ultra is 141 days younger than James, and Dagenot is 55 days younger. When James shook the league as the Chosen Son in 2003, Ultra and Dagenot were only seventeen or eighteen years old.

The Legend of Immortality, Defining the Life of Basketball

This data list is not so much a trend chart of youthfulness in the coach's seat, but a great witness to James' confrontation with time. In the cruel "youth" field of professional sports, James, who is over 40, not only did not fade out, but is still one of the most influential stars in the league. The average data of 25+7+8 per game last season is the most powerful proof. He has crossed many basketball eras and missed the changes of countless players and even coaches.

When peers were already wearing suits and ties, they sat in the coach's seat or commentary table, James was still rushing to the basket and commanding the offense on the court. The coach around him is getting younger and younger, and he is still the player who controls the game and pursues excellence. This wonderful inversion of roles is also rare in sports history.
