LeBron James defies aging with incredible windmill kick
Age is actually just a construct for Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James.
James defied logic with his level of play at the age of 41. While most people his age are dealing with physical problems and medical bills, the four-time MVP has continued to rise high and compete gallantly.
Against the New Orleans Pelicans on Tuesday, James showed once again why the weather hasn’t slowed him down. In the third quarter, he stole the ball and went all the way for the windmill rattleswowing the crowd at the Smoothie King Center.
As Jay-Z’s “What More Can I Say” said, “There’s never been a player this good for this long.”
If that song isn’t going to serve as the opening for a future 50-part documentary series about James, then there really is no hope for humanity.
It’s hard to overstate how impressive LBJ remains at this point in his storied career. Although he has suffered injuries in recent years, he continues to play at a high level when fully healthy. He had always taken pride in taking care of his body, even trains with young stars in Philadelphia 76ers guard Tyrese Maxey and Atlanta Hawks forward Jaylen Johnson.
The Lakers beat the Pelicans 111-103 for their third straight win.
James finished with 30 points, eight rebounds, eight assists, two steals and one block in another all-around performance. Luka Doncic also scored 30 points, with 10 assists and two steals.
Los Angeles improved to 23-11, while New Orleans fell to 8-30.
The Lakers will face the San Antonio Spurs on Wednesday.
