The view that James is not a scorer is indeed a little outdated, maybe Kobe Bryant can still slash 60 points in the final game of his 38-year-old career, at least 37-year-old James has not yet tried a game crazy shot 50 times, at his best, if James really does not stop shooting, maybe he may also score 60+ points per game, such as the first game of the 37-year-old, because James is on December 30th birthday, so January 1, 2022 Lakers against the Blazers game, It is james 37-year-old first game, James only 29 minutes, bombed 43 points and 14 rebounds, 26 shots 16, shooting 61.5% is too fierce, if James did not clock out of work in advance, but shot 50 times in this game, James really may refresh his career high score of 61 points, but James did not do this, 37-year-old he is still MVP level, his data output is very stable and comprehensive, 3 games in January, James cut 43 points, 26 points, 31 points, such a James you can't imagine he's 37 years old.
It is understandable that a game burst out of a super high stats, but James scored 30+ points in 7 consecutive games when he was almost 37 years old, and he scored 40+ points in the first game at the age of 37.
Think about it, whether it's a fledgling James or a 37-year-old James, his stats are so stable that you think his scores don't deserve the title of scorer, but James's scoring stats are there, and if James wants to take the leading scorer, he has definitely scored the title more than once in his career so far (averaging 30 points per game in 2008).
43 points! 26 points! 31 points! James' 37-year-old is still at MVP level, and the Lakers are starting to recover? While James's personal data shocked the world, the Lakers also achieved great results, winning 3 consecutive wins and overtaking the Clippers to rise to 7th in the West. The current Nuggets and the Lone Rangers' win difference of 10.5 is the same as the Lakers, then the Lakers to replace the Nuggets' 5th place in the West is not a dream, If James continues his MVP-level performance, the Lakers have indeed begun to recover, as long as they get the 5th place in the West, the Lakers can go one step closer to chasing the Grizzlies, who are currently ranked 4th in the West.
In addition, the Lakers' 5 consecutive home schedule, the last opponent is the Grizzlies, if the Lakers under the leadership of James really recovered, become the hot team we think before the start of the season, then the Lakers drag the Grizzlies down the top 4 in the West is more likely. Of course, the 37-year-old James has done enough, he is still MVP-level data performance, but if the Lakers teammates do not give strength, and drag James's thighs, the Lakers' recovery scene of winning all three games before 2022 is just a dream.
