LeBron James continues to redefine NBA history this season at the age of 40, setting multiple records as the league’s oldest player to achieve a 20+5+5 season, a triple-double, and single-game performances of 25, 30, and 35 points, as well as 10 assists. Additionally, he ranks in the top three on his playoff-bound team in all three core statistical categories—points, rebounds, and assists.
According to data from StatMuse, James has claimed seven age-related historical No. 1 achievements, including the unprecedented feat of leading his playoff team in scoring, rebounding, and assists simultaneously. All seven records were set this season, spanning both basic statistics and all-around performance.
As one of the league’s oldest active players, James shows no signs of decline in playing time or on-court impact. StatMuse’s compilation highlights that this is the first time in NBA history a player in his 40s has maintained such a comprehensive output.
The combination of James’s career longevity and elite performance continues to rewrite the league’s age-related benchmarks. From the foundational all-around 20+5+5 to explosive 35-point scoring and 10-assist playmaking, his technical completeness has not diminished with age.
