According to HoopsHype, James is the oldest player in NBA history to get an MVP vote, beating Michael Jordan's 23-year-old record. At 40 years old, James is 13 months older than Jordan was when MJ finished 13th in MVP voting while playing for the Washington Wizards in 2001-02.

Despite turning 40 in late December, James played 70 games and averaged 24.4 points, 7.8 rebounds and 8.2 assists while shooting 51.3% from the field.

A chance exists that LeBron James opts out of his contract with the Los Angeles Lakers. Several factors could shape his decision. The 40-year-old star is on a two-year, $104 million contract that includes a player option for the 2025-26 season and those close to the four-time NBA champion are unsure of his plans.
