LeBron James Named to All-NBA Second Team at Age 40: A Historic Feat
LeBron James continues to defy age and expectations. At 40 years old, he has been named to the All-NBA Second Team for the 2024–25 season, marking an unprecedented 21st consecutive All-NBA selection, the most in NBA history.
LeBron averaged 24.4 points, 8.2 assists, and 7.8 rebounds over the regular season, maintaining elite performance levels despite his age and workload. His continued dominance on the court underscores not just his physical ability, but his basketball IQ and leadership. In a social media post, LeBron wrote,
“ALL NBA at 40!! Low key crazy to me right now! Sitting here watching the playoffs just thinking about it. Blessed beyond I can even imagine.”
The achievement has reignited conversations about LeBron’s standing in the all-time greats discussion, with many calling him the most durable and consistent superstar in NBA history.
Uncertainty Surrounds LeBron’s Future with the Lakers
Despite his stellar play, LeBron’s future with the Los Angeles Lakers remains uncertain. He holds a player option for the 2025–26 season, which gives him the choice to either return to the Lakers or explore free agency.
His longtime agent, Rich Paul, recently stirred speculation by admitting, “I have no idea” when asked about LeBron’s plans for next season. The Lakers organization remains hopeful, but there are hints LeBron may be evaluating his path carefully—especially with the potential of playing alongside his son, Bronny James, in the near future.
Lakers Front Office Focused on Roster Upgrades
The Lakers are also looking to rebound after a disappointing first-round playoff exit to the Minnesota Timberwolves. With aging stars and an inconsistent supporting cast, the front office is under pressure to deliver roster upgrades that can complement LeBron and extend the team’s championship window.
Recent reports indicate the Lakers are exploring the possibility of trading for Onyeka Okongwu, the promising young center from the Atlanta Hawks. Okongwu, who signed a $62 million contract, could bring much-needed defense and energy to the Lakers’ frontcourt.
There’s also speculation that the Lakers are interested in acquiring another star to support LeBron, with names like Donovan Mitchell and Dejounte Murray floated as possible trade targets. Whether the team can pull off a blockbuster move remains to be seen, but their intent is clear: win now, while LeBron is still playing at an elite level.
LeBron’s Family Celebrates Milestones Off the Court
Off the court, LeBron also had reasons to celebrate. His youngest son, Bryce James, just graduated high school and attended his senior prom. Bryce, who has been making waves as a high school prospect, is committed to play college basketball with the Arizona Wildcats.
The James family shared moments from Bryce’s big day on social media, with LeBron calling it one of his proudest moments. These family milestones come amid widespread speculation about whether LeBron may eventually want to share the NBA court with Bryce, just as he may with his eldest son Bronny.
LeBron James remains a central figure in both the NBA and the Los Angeles Lakers’ plans, even as questions loom about his future. While his on-court performance is still elite, his next decision could reshape not just the Lakers’ trajectory, but also the league’s landscape.
As fans await clarity on his plans, one thing is certain: LeBron James continues to defy expectations—on and off the court.
