It will be a miracle if LeBron has another 3 seasons of high-level play.

not many have continued to be truly dominant in their thirties.

He is aging well. He is physical specimen who has never been injured. Durant or anyone else has 4-5 years before they take over as the best. How many guys are great at 20 but still improve every single year?

Players in their 20's shouldn't be aging anything but well.

I think you know what I mean. And he has played more basketball then anyone the last 10 years. He shows no signs at all of slowing down or losing a step. Playoffs every year, Olympics, never ever injured. Because I respect you're opinion, how much longer do you think he is the best player in the world? I say its at least 4 maybe 5 years.

He showed signs last year. His defense was far below par for him as he was coasting alot. Not saying that he is not still the best player but he has definitely peaked and those minutes will start taking their toll at some point.

And this is exactly why he should leave now. How many players ever have had to be the best at everything on there team? Lebron does everything for Miami, he defends David West one night and Paul George the next in the Conference Finals. At least Cleveland has young bodies in Waiters, Irving, Wiggins, Zeller... .
