The lakers' situation after the All-Star Game is not clear, the team once fell to the tenth position in the West, in this dark day LeBron James's performance has become one of the few highlights of the Lakers, James has completed many milestones during this time, if not witnessed Jordan's greatness, then James's performance can definitely be jaw-dropping. In the game against the Wizards, James scored his career 36,930 points with an empty layup, surpassing "Postman" Carl Malone (36,928 points) in the NBA's all-time total score list. That also made James the youngest Mr. 36928 in history, having played 1363 games, 113 fewer than Malone and 73 fewer than Jabbar.
In the Cavaliers game, LeBron James played 41 minutes, 17 of 29 shooting, 38 points, 11 rebounds and 12 assists. After this campaign, James's season average of 30.0 points per game, once again topped the league's top scorer, according to the statistics of statistic Media StatMuse, the oldest players in history who averaged more than 30 points per game in the previous season were 33-year-old Michael Jordan and Stephen Curry, and James was 4 years older than them. This is the third time in his career that James has averaged 30+ per game, and if James can get the leading scorer this season, then it means that James can become the scoring champion at any age whenever he wants to. James is going through a great season, he has done so many miracles, and now fans are very lucky to be witnesses to this great achievement.
The average career of NBA players is only 5-8 years, and we have seen too many fallen geniuses, Jennings, Evans, Mayo these geniuses which one was not a big deal, and they all played a season that makes people have unlimited reverie, but in the end? Few of these geniuses can always maintain their efficiency, or because of their own indiscipline, or because of the coach, in short, genius is never uncommon in the NBA, and evergreen trees like James are really rare in a hundred years, even if stars such as Kobe, O'Neal, And Duncan are difficult to maintain as efficient as James at the age of 37, and James is still one of the most dominant players in the league, he is still leading the team to the playoffs. Even the team still revolves around the two sideburns of James as the core of the offense, which is extremely rare throughout history.
And James is also using practical actions to prove that he can still play for a long time, these years of James always give people an illusion, at the beginning of the season when James began to appear sluggish, people thought he was about to fall off the altar, but James will always use performance to fight back these doubts, it seems that James's career can last a long time, and it seems that James is also willing to enjoy the scene of playing with his son Brownie, James more than once mentioned in front of the media, when Brownie draft no matter which team he is on James will choose to be with his son, and in terms of the current state James has shown, this wish has a great chance to be realized. LeBron is not because he has played longer than others, but because he has been stronger than others, which is the most amazing thing about James.
And this season is also the same when people think that the Lakers are going to be finished and completely lose their playoff hopes, James stood up, two consecutive 50+, telling fans that he will not give up, the team will still work hard. In the Lakers' home win over the Warriors, James played 38 minutes and had 56 points, 10 rebounds and 3 assists on 19-of-31 shooting. According to the statistics of statistic Media Stat Muse, the highest single-game scoring record of players over 35 years old in the history of the league is: Kobe Bryant 60 points and LeBron James 56 points, and Kobe Bryant's retirement game that year is amazing enough, but the reality is that the Lakers have no playoff hopes at that time, and the whole team is handing the ball to Kobe Bryant, which is a performance belonging to Kobe Bryant. James's 56 points were really obtained under strict defense, and it was precisely because James's strong play helped the Lakers end a four-game losing streak and stabilize the ranking.
After 6 days, James once again used a 50+ game to tell fans how great he was, and in the game with the Wizards, James played 36 minutes, got 50 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists, and shot 18 of 25, becoming the first player in NBA history to score 50 points multiple times in a single game after the age of 35. So you never know what crazy moves James will make on the court, and the Lakers' games this season are also full of suspense, maybe you will see a big loss, even against teams like the Knicks and Timberwolves, but sometimes you will see such a great performance as James. And this season James has played a large number of centers, this move is indeed surprising, if it is 27-year-old James will not be surprised, but the elderly James can still play an efficient performance in the center position, James is omnipotent on the court, carefully calculated James seems to have really played from the number one position to the fifth position.
James's career spans three eras, 00-05 is the era of inside behemoths and iron-blooded defense, 05-10 years is the era of gradual handover from the inside line to the outside line, the influence of the 10-15 inside line is further weakened, the small ball era began to take shape, 15-20 years The entire NBA completely entered the small-ball era, and the three-point shot swept the league. James, on the other hand, has been at the top of these three eras, he has been evolving, and that's what really scary about James, and to be honest, it won't surprise me if James gets the scoring king this season, and James also got the assist king at the age of 35, as long as he wants James to do anything on the court, he can get any honor in the league, the 37-year-old leading king sounds really cool, and James continues to write his ageless legend.
