Making it in the NBA is hard. Some players don't last more than a season while others go on to have fruitful and long careers. Then there's LeBron James.
SB Nation's Brady Klopfer Tweeted that James has officially spent half of his life playing professional basketball as of Monday. James was born on Dec. 30, 1984 and was drafted by the Cavaliers on June 26, 2003. The gap between those two dates is 6,752 days.
As of Monday, it's been 6,752 days since he heard commissioner David Stern call his name. During that span, he's won four championships, four MVPs and tallied 17 All Star selections.
