LeBron James is the oldest player in the NBA, but he's still one of the best and most durable players in the league. This got me wondering: what if LeBron plays until he's 100 years old?

​

To find out, I used AI to analyze LeBron's career stats up to the 2022-23 season. We observed some general trends (plays fewer minutes the older he gets; takes more 3-point shots, etc.) and used those trends to construct a model that could forecast his hypothetical future performance. We factored in general declines in his minutes played and production, and included some randomness in the results.

​

We also projected the teams he might play for in the future, with some teams weighted higher than others (Cavaliers, Lakers, etc) and created some AI-generated images of LeBron as he ages.
