Sure, he&#8217;s not the only one who played 20 seasons in the league, but he&#8217;s nonpareil when it comes to playing at that high a level for 20 years. At 38, he&#8217;s still finding himself in All-NBA teams, All-Star selections, and one of the top in MVP voting.<\/p>\n<p>Only time will tell whether he&#8217;ll win another championship in the remainder of his career, but certainly, there will be more records to be broken. If the King stays healthy, he will eventually surpass Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, for another jewel on his crown\u2014the record for most points ever scored will be his for the taking.<\/p>\n<p>The XX first debuted in the recent Drew League in an all-pink colorway and another in a black-red. This third coming arrives in a muted Laker color palette of purple mesh and golden accents on the piping proximate to the laces, collar, and tongue, before dripping entirely on the layered Swooshes on the lateral.<\/p>\n<p>Paisley patterns appear at the fore of the midsole with a solid blocking on the rear. Haring-esque detailing makes up the entirety of the outsole, finished off with an imprint of young LBJ&#8217;s hallmark reach-back dunk at the heel.<\/p>\n<p>The &#8220;Violet Frost&#8221; was mistakenly released on Finish Line ahead of schedule but has since been taken down. For now, it&#8217;s scheduled for a 15th October drop on Nike.com and select retailers, just in time for the upcoming NBA season.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s another legacy sneaker also 20 years in the making: His Airness&#8217; <a href=\"https:\/\/snkrdunk.com\/en\/magazine\/2022\/09\/01\/air-jordan-3-wizards-will-hit-the-shelves-22-years-after-debut\/?slide=right\">Air Jordan 3 &#8220;Wizards&#8221;<\/a> will finally hit the shelves 22 years after its debut.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/snkrdunk_int\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-22285 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/snkrdunk.s3.ap-northeast-1.amazonaws.com\/en\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/20154621\/Magazine-Bottom-Banner-copy.webp\" alt=\"Magazine-Bottom-Banner\" width=\"970\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/snkrdunk.s3.ap-northeast-1.amazonaws.com\/en\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/20154621\/Magazine-Bottom-Banner-copy.webp 970w, https:\/\/snkrdunk.s3.ap-northeast-1.amazonaws.com\/en\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/20154621\/Magazine-Bottom-Banner-copy-300x93.webp 300w, https:\/\/snkrdunk.s3.ap-northeast-1.amazonaws.com\/en\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/20154621\/Magazine-Bottom-Banner-copy-768x238.webp 768w, https:\/\/snkrdunk.s3.ap-northeast-1.amazonaws.com\/en\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/20154621\/Magazine-Bottom-Banner-copy-282x87.webp 282w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 970px) 100vw, 970px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LeBron James has had the longest prime of any athlete in the NBA.
