Set first in history! James has been selected into the best team for 21 consecutive years: writing a legend has set a new record

On May 24, the NBA officially announced the 2024-25 season's Best of the Year. James, 40, was selected again, and was selected for the Best of the Team 21 times to set the first record in history. The number of times he was selected for the Best of the Team has been the same as the total of Jordan and Chamberlain selected for the Best of the Team.

The Best Team of the Year was officially announced -

The Best Team of the Year: Jokic, Antetokounm, Alexander, Tatum and Mitchell

The Best Team of the Year: James, Curry, Brunson, Edwards and Mobley

The Best Team of the Year: Harden, Cunningham, Halliburton, Towns and Jaylen Williams

The 40-year-old James was selected for the Best Team of the Year to set a record high. James was selected for the Best Team of the Year 21 times in his career. Kobe, Duncan and Jay Barr all ranked second in history in the 15-time Best Team.

2. James was selected as the first in the best team for 21 consecutive years and is also the only player in history to achieve such a success.

3. James set the oldest record for being selected as the best team, setting the oldest record he has maintained in 22 years of his career. In addition to his rookie season, it was too crazy that James was selected as the best team for 21 consecutive years, the same as Michael Jordan (11 times) and Wilt Chamberlain (10 times) selected as the best team; it is worth mentioning that James was selected as the best team for 11 consecutive years (first in history).

Previously, the league announced the results of the MVP this season. James won one fourth vote and 13 fifth votes, and ranked sixth in the league with a total of 16 points, surpassing Jordan to become the oldest player to win MVP votes in history. This is also the 20th season in James' career to win MVP votes. In the 24-25 season, James played 70 regular season games for the Lakers in his 22nd year of his career, averaging 24.4 points, 7.8 rebounds, 8.2 assists, 1 steal, 0.6 blocks, with a shooting percentage of 51.3%, a three-point shooting percentage of 37.6% and a free throw shooting percentage of 78.2%.

The Lakers advanced to the playoffs as the third in the Western Conference. James played in five playoffs, averaging 25.4 points, 9 rebounds, 5.6 assists, 2 steals and 1.8 blocks per game. Unfortunately, he was eliminated 4-1 by the Timberwolves in the first round.

Currently, James has one year left in his contract with the Lakers and has a player option worth $52.6 million. If James continues to compete in the NBA in the new season, he will usher in his 23rd season and enjoy the longest career record in his history.

So far in his career, James has won countless honors, 21 All-Stars, 21 Best Team, 4 regular season MVP, 4 championships and 4 finals MVP. What decision will James make this summer? Let's wait and see.
