LeBron James - played a long time

[Texas Proud]

Saw this in a sports newsletter that is sent to me... I also remember hearing on the radio of the high percent of all players that have ever played in the NBA that he has played against... it was also high..



Roughly 2.8 billion people have been born since the last time LeBron James missed an NBA All-Star Game (2004).

In other words: More than a third of the global population and 2.5% of every human who has ever lived can't remember a time when LeBron wasn't an All-Star.

Just asking. 2.8 billion or 1.8 billion?

So roughly 2.8 billion people have been born since 2004, whether or not Lebron had ever existed. Billions have been born since I started my last job, also. It's equally as relevant to that as it is to Lebron. It seems he's been credited enough for things in his career, but the number of people born shouldn't be one of them.

OK great athlete, but of the roughly 8 billion people on the planet I'm guessing a tiny fraction ever watched him play and probably a large percentage of the world population never heard of him.

OK, how about that he has played with 35% of ALL NBA players in history?

I can't remember when he was an all star. Who is he? What is the NBA? So confused.

I had a turkey sandwich for lunch.

Ha! love the banter ..wait were you the guy from Texas on my trip to Australia last month?
Anyways, super impressive record for an elite athlete. But as a non pro basketball fan, it's kind of lost on me. Having said that Go U Conn!
