It’s another testament to James’ unparalleled longevity, and it’s quite poetic that he achieved it on his old home turf.
The four-time MVP is in his 23rd year, and he’s still out there with fantastic results. There may not be another player who can play as much as he does. Not to say, at a high level.
James always said he didn’t want to cheat the game. He has always treated it with respect, which is why he takes care of his body, investing in work even when no one is looking. Being a gym rat has definitely worked well for him.
Although he’s been slowed by various injuries in recent years, the NBA’s all-time leading scorer continues to have a huge impact on the Lakers. Entering their game against the Cavaliers, James was averaging 22.4 points, 6.0 rebounds, 6.7 assists and 1.1 steals in 33.4 minutes.
