Watch LeBron James age from teenager to NBA legend in one mesmerizing GIF
It's been a trip watching LeBron James get old. He entered the NBA in 2003 as an impossibly hyped teenager straight out of high school. Now he's a 31-year-old legend of the game who's somehow exceeded all those expectations -- and isn't close to done yet.
Now, thanks to the mesmerizing-yet-somewhat-creepy GIF embedded below, you can watch James reel in the years at the speed of light.
