The new season is about to start, James and Haslem will usher in the 20th season of their careers, and Anthony will also usher in the 20th season, but he has not yet found a home, and it is difficult to say whether to retire.
In the history of the NBA, there are not many players who can play 20 seasons, less than double digits, of which the longest is Carter, who played a total of 22 seasons and played until he retired at the age of 43. It is worth mentioning that James and the Lakers still have three years of contract, and if he fulfills these three years of contract, he will play 22 seasons.
Although Carter has played 22 seasons, the most in history, it is interesting that Carter has lost as many as 756 games in his entire career, ranking first in history, which is the longest to play and the most lost. Carter played a total of 1541 games in his entire career, winning only 785 games, and the number of wins was only 29 more than the number of losses, so Carter's career win rate was just over 50%.
In addition to Carter, the famous super sixth man Crawford, has also played 20 seasons in his career and lost as many as 718 games, second only to Carter in history, and the two of them are the only two players with more than 700 losses.
Crawford has played only 1327 games in his career, and in addition to losing 718, he has won only 609 games in total, which is not as high as the number of losses, and the winning rate is only 46%, which is even lower than Carter.
In contrast, James, who is about to enter his 20th season, has played a total of 1366 games in his career, achieved 894 wins, and lost only 472 games, with a winning percentage of 65%. Such a comparison is enough to see how strong James is.
It is also worth mentioning that Nowitzki has also played 21 seasons in his career, second only to Carter, and he has also won 912 wins in his career, ranking sixth in history, but he has also lost more than 600 games, but the winning rate is still more than 60%, although not as good as James, but it is also very remarkable.
Kobe also played 20 seasons in his career, winning 836 and losing 510 games, with a winning percentage of 62%, which is lower than James, but also higher than Nowitzki.
However, compared with Jabbar, James, Kobe and Nowitzki are all at a disadvantage, and Jabbar has played 20 seasons in his career, with a total of 1074 wins, ranking first in history, and the winning rate is as high as 69%. Duncan has 1,001 wins in his 19-year career, a 72% win rate, more than Jabbard.
