After celebrating his 37th birthday, James once again became the first person in history with multiple statistics, and rivaled Jordan.

Second, James became the player in NBA history who was able to make 40+ and 0 turnovers in a single game for players aged 35 and over, and only Michael Jordan (3 times) did it except him.
Third, James is the first player in NBA history to cut at least 40 points, 10 rebounds plus five three-pointers in less than 30 minutes of playing time.
After the game, when asked by reporters what James did on his birthday day and night, James said: "Yesterday I didn't do anything except watch a movie with my family. Still, tonight (the trans-Chinese New Year's Eve of U.S. time) should be fun, hahaha. ”
After celebrating his 37th birthday, James doesn't seem to be in a 37-year-old who is still setting NBA records.
