James, 37, has played an incredible performance this season. He has started in 28 games for the Lakers, averaging 36.9 minutes per game (a new five-year high), 28.7 points (a new 12-year high), 7.4 rebounds, 6.6 assists, 1.8 steals, and can shoot 2.9 three-pointers per game (a career high) and shoot 36.5% from three-point range. As can be seen from the data, James's state is still hot.
Under James' leadership, the Lakers currently have a four-game winning streak and are in sixth place in the West with a record of 21 wins and 19 losses. After experiencing the early low tide, the Lakers have recently found a state and maintained a strong momentum. James, in particular, has also developed a new positioning for the center. He has been a center five times this season, and the Lakers' record of winning all victories is very surprising.
37 is already an age for many people to retire. But James not only did not have the slightest decline in form, but even had a slight reverse growth. He leads the league with 30+ points 17 times this season, and his average score per game is also the second highest in the league, and he has repeatedly provided wonderful dunks for fans on the field. James' record of hitting the 2nd overall scoring record in history this season is very dramatic, and his fiery state makes people have to sigh that he is really too strong!
Us media SportsCenter sent a comparison chart of the three stages of James's career (17, 27 and 37 years old), and found that James's average data in these three periods was almost the same. When he was 17 years old and still in high school, he averaged 28 points, 8.9 rebounds and 6 assists per game. By the time he was 27 years old, he averaged 27.1 points, 7.9 rebounds and 6.2 assists per game. Now the 37-year-old's statistics during the Lakers are 28.6 points, 7.4 rebounds and 6.5 assists, and how long James's peak moment can last is also a matter of great concern to fans.
In response, Hall of Famer, Pistons star Thomas retweeted the news, calling James the greatest all-around player in history, and must let everyone understand this fact. From Thomas's high praise for him, it can be seen that James has left a certain weight in the hearts of celebrities.
Interestingly, because of the many holidays between Jordan, Thomas has always supported James, believing that he is more worthy of the title of the league's first person than Jordan. But aside from the feud between Thomas and Jordan, James' strength also deserves recognition.
As James surpassed Alvin Robertson to 10th all-time steals at the Hawks game yesterday, he became the only player in history to rank in the top 10 in terms of total points, total assists and total steals. As he remains at his peak, he is expected to continue to beat multiple records. Abdul-Jabbar's all-time record of total points may be broken in the near future.
