Even though LeBron James only has a few years left in his career, the NBA’s future is in good hands. There are other players in the league, like Jayson Tatum, Luka Doncic, and Anthony Edwards, who have the potential to continue the legacy of players like LeBron James, Kevin Durant, and Steph Curry.
Tatum, the star of the Boston Celtics, recently moved up the list of players who have the most victories at age 25. Tatum, who turns 26 on Saturday, had already won 325 games at the age of 25. Before he turns 26, he has two more games to play. At the age of 25, just four players have won more games than Tatum.

Tatum averaged 23.0 points per game and shot 46.0% from the field (including 37.4% from long range) during his career.
Tatum finished third in Rookie of the Year voting in 2017-18. He finished 12th in MVP voting in his third year, sixth in his fifth season, and fourth in his sixth season. He was named an All-Star in five seasons. Additionally, he is the only player on the list to have attended college.
