James on his debut 18 years ago today: I hope others don't go through this moment because it's nerve-wracking

18 years ago today, James started his career with 25 points, 6 rebounds, 9 assists and 4 steals in the first game of his NBA career.

Speaking about the game in an interview with the media after the Lakers beat the Cavaliers today, James said: "I never had the opportunity to talk about this game before, but now I can talk about it.

It is a great honor to be able to play at my level of physical condition for so long, and it is a gift from Heaven. How many points did I score in my first game? 25 or 29? As I get older, I feel like a bottle of aged red wine. I'll never forget the moment I stepped onto the NBA in that burgundy jersey.

It's unique and I hope the rest of the league doesn't go through this moment because it's nerve-wracking. ”

In today's game, James played 38 minutes and had 26 points, 3 rebounds, 8 assists and 3 steals on 10-of-22 shooting.
