The oldest NBA player (current) is LeBron James (b. 30 December 1984, USA), aged 41 years old, of the Los Angeles Lakers, as verified on 30 December 2025.

LeBron James is often referred to as "King James" thanks to him being the NBA’s all-time leading scorer- not to mention his over 22 years of Basketball experience. LeBron has the most assists among all frontcourt players in NBA history.

He is so passionate about the game, that even as the NBA's 23rd season soon approaches, LeBron is not thinking about retirement- just looking forward to a new season playing the sport he loves.

Incredibly enough, after four championships and numerous feats throughout the years, LeBron insists he still has records to surpass- even if he's just doing it for himself.
