James reclaimed his lead over time by securing his 42nd series win at age 41 after eliminating the Houston Rockets. The last time he held this edge was in 2023 at age 38, before a two-year postseason lull allowed his age to briefly catch up. This milestone further separates him from Derek Fisher and Robert Horry as the only players to ever maintain more series victories than years lived into their 40s.

To be fair to Jordan, he played on since weak Bulls teams during the most competitive period of the the Eastern Conference in NBA history. He was going through Boston, Philly, and Detroit every year.

I just learned that LeBron didn’t get the record for most playoff series wins until he passed Derek Fisher in 2023 after beating the Warriors.

People really spent the last 48 hours writing LeBron’s retirement speech only for him to drop a 28-point masterclass at 41 years old lmao.

Bro passed his kid a lob in a playoff game. If he wins a ring this year idk if you can argue against his GOAT status anymore. (I am a MJ goat arguer)

People have the fastest moving goalposts in history for LBJ. For a decade people have said ‘if then’, and when he does that next season it’s ‘if then’. At this point the ifs are completely insane

Last I checked (which was 1 or 2 years ago) LeBron was in the top 5 for playoff series wins per year, with the other 4 being Michael Jordan, Kareem, Bill Russell, and Magic Johnson. Among players who had won MVP
