Despite the fact that he’s 33 years old and in his 15th NBA campaign, LeBron James arguably had the best single season of his Hall of Fame career this year.Averaging 27.5 points, 8.6 rebounds and 9.1 assists per contest, it was the first time that James played all 82 regular-season contests. His rebounding mark tied a career-high that he set last season while his assist mark was a career-high.Given all of the mileage that he logged on his legs over the course of his 1,142 regular-season and 235 playoff contests, it’s wildly impressive to see his numbers (and impact) continue to ascend late in his career.Will he ever slow down?The answer to that might be “no”.At his media session on Wednesday, James explained that he doesn’t believe in the concept of a ceiling when it comes to evaluating the prime of his career."They always kind of talked about the NBA prime is like 27 [until] like 31, 32. That's if you're lucky, you'll get to that point," James said, per Dave McMenamin of ESPN. "I don't know. I've just never really bought into that. I've never bought into a ceiling, either. You guys [in the media] talked about what's your ceiling, and I've always kind of told you guys that I don't really have a ceiling. I want to just try to maximize as much as I can and be as good as I can.”

Not only has James been a revelation on the court, but he’s also been extremely present. As noted above, he played in every single game this season and rarely takes any practices or workouts off.

"I've been blessed to be available," he said. "That's what I take pride in more than anything, is being available to my teammates every single day. … I think I've missed one or two practices a [year], because when you live in northeast Ohio and you have four seasons, you will get sick. But I've been available for my teammates and been a leader to my teammates all year, and I've put in the work.”

Overall, LeBron explained that his numbers do not drive him, but putting his best foot forward and giving maximum effort on a nightly basis leads to positive results.

"The level that I can play at is to be seen, but the level that I put into the game and put into my craft is who I am," he said. "So numbers and things like that kind of take care of itself. But for me, I understand and I know how much I put into the game. So everything else is OK.”

Game 1 of the NBA Finals will take place on Thursday. Since LeBron’s “prime” has essentially spanned his entire career, there’s no reason to assume that he won’t be able to give the Warriors some problems in the series, at least from an individual perspective.
