Almost impossible to stay at elite level for 20 years.The triple doubles are meaningless to me.
What means something is this muh'fukka's game just doesn't age. It's beyond ridiculous he still looks the part at 40. He's truly one of a kind. It's the reason why I've got no issue with anyone believing he's the greatest to ever do it, because nobody in the history of the game has played at this level for two whole decades.
Two muh'fukken decades.
Lord have mercy.
Someone like Messi is considered a legend with a long career but his first few professional seasons he wasn't considered one of the best on earth. And his recent few seasons is more like him enjoying football against inferior MLS talent.
Gretzky was elite for many many years. Kareem too, but not for 20 years straight up.
Those things happen as rarely as it gets.
