Los Angeles Lakers star and reigning NBA Finals MVP LeBron James turns 36 years old today as his 18th season has just gotten underway.

To make Skip Bayless cringe a little, ‘Happy Birthday GOAT’ has been trending on Twitter all morning. Hear what a former NFL tight end Shannon Sharpe have to say about LeBron on his 36th birthday:

“Happy Birthday, GOAT James! No one has done it better longer at this age. Do you realize MJ was in his 2nd retirement at the age 36? My guy has never tasted 1,2,3 Cancun after the 1st round of the playoffs! Your guy has done it 3 times,” Undisputed host said.

James has played 18 seasons for three teams. His career averages are 27.1 points, 7.4 rebounds, and 7.4 assists in 1,269 regular-season games. James has won four MVP awards and has been selected to play in 16 All-Star Games.
