When LeBron James stepped onto the floor for the second finals game between the Lakers and Oklahoma, he did something nobody before him had managed - his 300th NBA playoff game. The first in league history.

At 41 years old, in his 19th playoff campaign, James keeps stacking up numbers that look as if they were invented for statistical bots. Only nine other players in history have made it to 200+ postseason games - he leaves them all behind.

Without Luka Dončić beside him in the playoffs this season, LeBron has shouldered the entire weight of the Lakers. Averages of 23.3 points, 8.0 assists and 6.7 rebounds - the numbers of an MVP candidate, not someone who should already be retired. The Lakers got past Houston in the first round, and now they are playing the defending champion Thunder.

There is something incomprehensible about how James refuses to bow to age. We have already crowned his last, his second-to-last and his third-to-last playoff run as "the last lap." And he keeps showing up, keeps dominating. 300 games is a number nearly every player can't even imagine - most careers end before the halfway mark.
