King James: Path to 40

Lebron James is the oldest player in the NBA at 40. He's also the first and, so far, the only player in NBA history to cross 40,000 regular season points. He is in his 22nd season in the NBA and going strong. Beyond the championships (4) and league MVPs titles (4), one of the most remarkable aspects of his game is his consistency. James scored his first 10,000 points in the exact same number of games as it took him to go from 30,000 to 40,000 (h/t Ben Golliver):

- 10K in 368 games 

- 10K to 20K in 358 games

- 20K to 30K in 381 games

- 30K to 40K in 368 games

Age is but a number...
