LeBron James, Chris Paul, and Kyle Lowry, seasoned NBA players, currently make up the league’s largest 20-year club.

This group, including James from the Los Angeles Lakers, Paul from the Golden State Warriors, and Lowry from the Philadelphia 76ers, enters the season as the most senior active players in the NBA.

LeBron James, with his greying beard, continues to command attention with his performances despite his years in the league. Chris Paul, now with the Warriors, faces ongoing queries about his career longevity. Kyle Lowry, part of the Philadelphia 76ers, has plans for life after basketball when he decides to retire.

The trio’s participation marks a significant milestone, as few players in the NBA’s 80-season history have achieved such longevity.

Their experience and leadership provide invaluable contributions to their respective teams. The 20-year club has expanded to include these three players, illustrating their enduring influence and dedication to the sport.

The NBA community and fans continue to watch closely as James, Paul, and Lowry navigate their careers, demonstrating resilience and skill. Their continued presence in the league highlights the exceptional nature of their athletic careers.

The 20-year club serves as a testament to their commitment and enduring impact on the game.
