LeBron James, 40, Can't Believe This Incredible NBA Fact

There are currently over 70 NBA players born after the future Hall of Famer's debut as an 18-year-old for the Cleveland Cavaliers on Oct. 29, 2003. He chuckled and made a "mind blown" motion.

James has accrued multiple career records since his first game, including games started (1,560), All-Star selections (21), and points scored (42,184).

Can LeBron James Win His Fifth NBA Title This Season?

James will now play his first full season with superstar guard Luka Doncic, whom Los Angeles acquired from the Dallas Mavericks in February. The team finished as the third seed in the Western Conference, but fell to the sixth-seeded Minnesota Timberwolves in the first round of the playoffs.

The Lakers suffered from a lack of center depth after flipping 10-time All-Star Anthony Davis for Doncic, as they were left with backups Jaxson Hayes and Maxi Kleber in addition to 6-foot-7 forward Dorian Finney-Smith.

The latter player is now with the Houston Rockets, but Los Angeles signed veteran Deandre Ayton in the offseason. The 2018 first overall draft pick averaged 14.4 points on 56.6 percent shooting (18.8 percent 3-point) with 10.2 rebounds across 30.2 minutes for the Portland Trail Blazers last year.

Ayton's arrival doesn't guarantee success for Los Angeles, but it may not have many chances left with James since he's on an expiring contract. On the bright side, the four-time MVP said on Monday that it won't affect his performance, via ESPN's Dave McMenamin.

"It will have no impact," he said. "I'm super excited about the challenges and the excitement of our team. We added some new guys. We got another year under our belt with our coaching staff from last year. Got a full year with Luka Doncic and another year with the guys that I've been with. So super excited about that."

The Lakers will open their preseason slate against the Phoenix Suns on Friday.
