Since being banned for the first time in his career, James' individual performances have been quite outstanding, as if he was back to his peak. In the last 12 games, James has scored at least 30 points in eight of his games. During that time, James averaged 28.8 points, 7.7 rebounds and 6.8 assists per game, shooting 52 percent from the field.
So far this season, James has only played 20 games, but 10 of them have scored 30+, which is exactly half of the games, averaging 30+ per game. For a veteran who is almost 37 years old, this is undoubtedly very rare.
This season is already the 19th season of James' career, and no player in NBA history has ever been able to play such a performance in the 19th season. Abdul-Abdul-Jabbar and Carl Malone, two players who scored higher than James in their careers, did not score another 30+ in their 19th season of their careers.
Bryant, who ranks fourth in career total scoring, scored 12 30+ times in the last two seasons, almost the same as James in the past 20 games. Such a comparison shows how good James is. At the age of 37, 30+ is still handy for James, as long as you want to get it.
This season, James has averaged more than 26 points per game, higher than in the past two seasons. In addition, James has averaged 37 minutes per game this season, tied for second in the league with Durant, behind Only VanVleet. If you only look at the data, I am afraid it is difficult to think that this is a 37-year-old veteran who played.
However, although James's personal performance this season is very strong and his dominance is still very strong, the Lakers' record is not strong. As of now, the Lakers' record is only 16 wins and 16 losses, the winning rate is only 50%, if it were not for the general poor performance of Western teams this season, the Lakers could not be ranked sixth in the West.
Last season, James's personal performance was also very good, once a big hit with MVP, but due to injuries, not only failed to get MVP, the Lakers also relied on the playoffs to enter the playoffs, but in the end it was the first round of travel.
