Suffering through that humbling experience has only made some of those 2003 draftees more awestruck by the one member of their class who is defying the NBA’s typical age timeline. At 41, with thinning hair and a salt-and-pepper beard, LeBron James is still ripping through the seams of the defense, still throwing down reverse windmill slams, still tallying 20-plus-point games and near triple-doubles with staggering regularity.

Or as Hayes puts it, “We've never seen a player at this age have this type of impact. I know he's not going to play forever, but it sure feels like it.”
