LeBron James, Chris Paul and Kyle Lowry enter season as the NBA's largest 20-year club
LeBron James will become the first NBA player to reach 23 seasons as Chris Paul and Kyle Lowry join him in the largest group with 20-plus seasons ever.
- For the first time the NBA has three players entering their 20th seasons: LeBron James, Chris Paul and Kyle Lowry, a rare seniority in the NBA's 80-season history.
- Sustained high-level contribution is rare, as LeBron James, Chris Paul and Kyle Lowry’s longevity is practically unheard of and draws advice-seekers like Victor Wembanyama.
- Paul demonstrated durability by playing every game in his 20th season and starting each one, while Lowry balances playing with a multiyear analyst deal at Amazon Prime, debuting next week.
- The veterans' example now serves as a model for younger players, while Giannis Antetokounmpo said medical advances have enabled career extensions for those who commit.
- Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was the club's first member, with modern entrants including Kevin Garnett, Kobe Bryant, Dirk Nowitzki, Vince Carter, Jamal Crawford and Udonis Haslem.
