Only LeBron James and Michael Jordan among NBA players aged 38 have accomplished this remarkable achievement
The Lakers defeated the Charlotte Hornets 121-115 on Monday night in Charlotte, North Carolina. James once again blew everyone away as he finished the game with 43 points, 11 rebounds, 6 assists, and 1 steal in the 40 minutes of the game on the court. LeBron James and Michael Jordan are the only players in NBA history to have consecutive 40+ point games at age 35 or older.
Superstar LeBron James of the Los Angeles Lakers has excelled throughout the past two matches. The Los Angeles Lakers’ star LeBron James celebrated his 38th birthday on Friday by defeating the Atlanta Hawks 130-121 at State Farm Arena in Georgia.
The four-time NBA Champion played brilliantly, scoring 47 points in 40 minutes while adding ten rebounds, nine assists, and one block.
James has averaged 29.0 points, 8.2 rebounds, 6.6 assists, and 1.0 steals in 29 games this season, which is excellent. Additionally, the four-time MVP is averaging 51.0% from the field. He is in his fifth season with the Lakers and his twentieth overall in the NBA.
Even though the Lakers won the championship in 2020, they just finished a 33-49 season in which they failed to make the NBA Playoffs. With a current record of 16–21 in 37 games, they are currently the Western Conference’s 12th seed.
On Wednesday night in Los Angeles, they will welcome Tyler Herro and the Miami Heat in their subsequent game. The Lakers have had a difficult season, though. The Lakers had slipped five of their previous six games coming into the Hawks matchup. The victory raised their record to 15-21, but they still need to catch up if they wish to have a chance in the play-in event.
