LeBron still going strong is wild š
Yeah, Chris Paul calling it a career really does feel like the end of a whole chapter of basketball.
With CP3 stepping away, LeBron James becomes the only active player left from the 2008 Redeem Team, which is pretty surreal when you think about what that group represented.
Kobe setting the tone, Wade torching defenses off the bench, Melo and Bosh doing a bit of everything, Dwight holding down the paint, and a young CP3 already running the show like a seasoned vet.
They were the Avengers before the Avengers.
Even the Banana Boat crew, once the unofficial symbol of that era, is basically fully retired now, with LeBron standing alone as the last one still going.
When Chris takes the floor for the final time, every single player who stood on that podium in Beijing will be doneā¦except for LeBron, whoās somehow still performing at a level that makes no sense.
Props to CP3 on an incredible run. One of the smartest, most precise point guards the game has ever seen.
The NBA is definitely going to feel different without the Point God.
