LeBron James Proves Age is Just a Number with 40-Point Performance
Kosport Magazine – March 31, 2024
At 39 years old, LeBron James continues to defy the odds and make a case for being the greatest NBA player of all time. In a recent game against the Brooklyn Nets, James scored 40 points, joining Michael Jordan as the only players in NBA history with multiple 40-point games after turning 39. But it wasn’t just the fact that he scored 40 points that was impressive, it was the way he did it.
James went 13-for-17 from the floor and tied a career high in 3-pointers made, going 9-for-10 from deep. This display of shooting prowess is a testament to James’ growth mindset and his ability to adapt to the ever-changing landscape of the NBA. While he may not be known as a 3-point shooter, James has worked on his outside shot and is now shooting a career-high 41.6% from beyond the arc.
But it wasn’t just his shooting that was impressive. James also showed his clutch gene, scoring 17 points in the fourth quarter to secure the win for the Los Angeles Lakers. And his teammate, Anthony Davis, couldn’t help but marvel at James’ performance, calling it “masterful.”
This win was crucial for the Lakers, who are currently fighting for a playoff spot in the Western Conference. With only seven games left in the regular season, every win counts and James’ performance was a major factor in securing this victory.
But as James continues to play at an elite level, the question on everyone’s mind is how much longer he plans to play. And while he may not have a definitive answer, James did hint that his retirement may be sooner rather than later.
“I’m on the other side of the hill,” James said. “I don’t have much time left.” But for now, fans can continue to enjoy watching James dominate on the court and prove that age is just a number.
