Adebayo as reported by Basketnews, described playing on court with James as a witness of greatness, noting the 39-year-old has exemplified exceptional qualities as a basketball player.
“50. At the age of 50,” Adebayo jokingly interrupted. “It’s just one of those things where you just witness greatness. You understand what the greatness is. I’m glad he’s on my team,” Adebayo elated.
“To see him still going at 40… He’s been great since he was 16. So, you know, going through his career, you’ve seen a lot of people expecting him to drop off. The fact that he hasn’t… You just admire greatness.”
