LeBron James admitted that in the last Super Bowl he did not just watch the game as a sports fan who enjoyed the class and the celebration.

He watched the Super Bowl mostly as Tom Brady does the unbelievable and leads a team to win the title, when at the age of 43 the greatest quarterback of all time wins the seventh Super Bowl of his career.

LeBron, 36, is considered a veteran basketball player, in his 18th season in the league, and yet he is seven years younger than Brady.

King James, who is still sturdy and athletic, claims it is highly doubtful he will be able to pull off his career as Brady has managed to do.



"For a man like me, it's very inspiring," James said of Brady winning the title at age 43, "but those are two different industries, two completely different roles."

LeBron is still at his best, and tonight led the Lakers to a 109-112 victory over Oklahoma City after overtime, and King James once again excelled with a triple-double and currently at least looks like a leading contender for the MVP title of the season.

"I do not know how much longer I can continue to play," he said, "as I feel now ... yet to be seen. I have no schedule. I do not have a specific age, if I want to play up to 30 and something or 40. The game will tell me when it will come Temporary. Then we will understand. "

James has joked in the past and claimed he would like to play until age 46 but his wife will not allow him.

However, this season he signed a contract extension until the end of the 2022/23 season, when he will be 38, and as mentioned, in the meantime he looks his best.

The data do not show a decline.

Although last year he was the king of assists in the league and the season dropped from 10.2 per game to just 7.8, this is quite obvious given the addition of Dennis Schroeder as the dominant game manager.

His average of minutes still stands at 35-34 per game, he maintains an average of 25 points per game and still has a stable percentage from the field (49.7) including an improvement in the percentage from three (41.7).



He recently played 46 minutes against Detroit, tonight he played 43 minutes against Oklahoma City, and he says he withstood the physical effort with no problems, and he feels a little exhausted in the post-game interview just because he already did the cold shower.

"I can fall asleep now because the game is over," he said, "I'm cold now, but if I had to keep playing, I had no problem. If I had to eat now, or work out in the gym - I just needed a warm-up."

As a boy Brady and LeBron are not the only ones to flourish lately at their extreme age.

Both Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Cristiano Ronaldo continue to display peak ability in their late 30s, and they too admit that the head is the most important organ.

Maybe the speed is a bit impaired, but experience is critical, and they know how to maintain the body, utilize their power more effectively.



Zlatan is 39, and will celebrate his 40th birthday in October. This season he has 14 goals and six assists in 11 games in the Italian league - but Zlatan's most impressive figure this year is his versatility in goals he has scored: since early 2020 only one player in the top five leagues Score at least 5 goals on the right foot, left foot and a jab.

Zlatan did it (respectively) 6, 12 and 5 times, again illustrating his uniqueness.

The Swede also admits that he only excels, and the data show that by the age of 30 he scored 204 goals and after the age of 30 he scored 297.



After winning the fourth championship, James himself said that "the 37-year-old LeBron would have easily defeated the 27-year-old LeBron, I Smarter, more mature. "

And he knows why.

An older player is also usually a leader, who conveys professionalism and gives character to the team, so a lot of confidence, inspiration and personal example.

Milan coach Fioli declared this week that "Zlatan must continue to play, and he must do it in Milan."

Yesterday AC Milan professional manager Paulo Maldini admitted that Milan want to extend the Swede's contract, saying: "We need a leader like Ibrahimovic. He told us that his contract extension depends on his body. But if he continues like this, I see no reason why he should not continue here His career. "

Cristiano Ronaldo (who celebrated his 30th birthday on February 5) also scored his 300th hair this week since his 30th birthday.

For many footballers, the age of 30 is considered beyond the peak, but in the fourth decade of his life, Ronaldo scored more goals than most players in his entire career - averaging 50 goals a year.

Giovanni Maori, a former Real Madrid fitness coach at Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid, worked with the two, saying of Cristiano: "When he came to Italy, I said he was an abnormal player. Now he has stabilized and adapted, and conquers non-stop. I worked with a lot. Footballers around the age of 40. From Maldini to Costa Corta. When I was at PSG, I knew Zlatan could play until the age of 40. These are players with incredible flexibility, despite their resilience. Ibra has the ability to move a dancer, even though he weighs almost 100k "third.

Ronaldo is also one of the only individuals who can play up to the age of 40 at the same physical level. "



Of course, the list of unfinished adults should include Lionel Messi, who set another record this week: Also in the game in which he gets a rest, the 33-year-old Argentine scored his fastest goal - When he came in front of Betis and scored after 168 seconds. Roger Federer may be sidelined due to injury, but last year at the age of 38 he was still at the top of tennis, and 34-year-old Rafael Nadal who looks determined and hungry as always. The older players enjoy each other more. , Remain hungry and full of motivation, and as the cliché says, prove that “age is just a number.” All profit is ours.
