How difficult is it to be selected for the Best Team for 21 consecutive years? There are only 6 people in history who have fought for 21 years.

Although the Lakers were beaten by the Timberwolves in the playoffs this season and went to the first round again, James, who is already 40 years old, successfully selected for the All-Second Team, once again refreshing the oldest player to be selected for the All-Second Team that he has maintained. In addition, James also became the Player of the Month in February and the oldest Player of the Month.

For James, he has been selected into the Best Team 21 times in his career, continuing to set a new historical record, and for 21 consecutive years, he has only missed the Best Team in his career rookie season. Except James, no other player has been selected into the All-A-Squad at least 20 times.

Not to mention being selected into the Best Team 20 times, even players who can play for at least 20 seasons are very limited in history, with only a dozen people in total, and only James and Paul are active. There are only six players who can reach the 21st season, namely Parrish, Kevin Willis, Garnett, Nowitzki, Carter and James. Among them, only Carter and James have reached their 22nd season, and James will also usher in his 23rd season next season, setting a new historical record. By comparing this, you can tell how amazing it is for James to be selected for the Best Team for 21 consecutive years. At the peak of his career, James was also a regular visitor to the Best Team, and he could basically book a Best Team place every season. From 2008 to 2018, James was selected for the First Team for 11 consecutive years, and achieved the feat of winning 4 MVPs in five years, and led the team to the finals for eight consecutive years.

After joining the Lakers, James' strength has also declined as he grows older, especially after suffering several injuries, James is still selected for the Best Team, but he is no longer a regular visitor in the Best Team. However, for James who is at the end of his career, it is very impressive to be able to enter the best team every year, because many players have retired at his age.

In addition to the best team, James has also been selected as the All-Star for 21 consecutive years, and he is a starter every time. James is still the first player in history to be selected as an All-Star at the age of 40. Unfortunately, James did not play due to injury, which is also the first time he missed the All-Star Game in his career.
