LeBron James is hitting lows not seen since his rookie season
Great as LeBron James he is only human. So the nearly 40-year-old Lakers legend is bound to experience periods of slowness.
Over the last five games, James is on average 12.5 points per game, the lowest percentage in that stretch since his rookie season in 2003. In December 2003, James averaged 20.2 points per game in five games.
Currently, James is averaging 15.2 points and 7.2 assists per game. The Lakers lost to the Phoenix Suns 125-108 on Monday. James finished the game with only 10 points and three assists in 31 minutes of play. Furthermore, he finished with a Player Impact Rating of -10.
More, James managed to give Dillion Brooks a thumbs down after Brooks failed to nail Bronie James.
As a result, the Lakers are now 15-5 and are set to face the Toronto Raptors on Thursday. After that, LA will play the Boston Celtics on Friday and close out the week against the Philadelphia 76ers on Sunday.
James is playing in his 23rd NBA season and recently comes from an injury to his right foot it separated him from the New Orleans Pelicans.
All the while, James continues to defy the adage of age, with no hint of retirement despite constant rumors and speculation.
LeBron James is one of the most consistent athletes ever.
Indeed, LeBron James has largely been at the top of his game for over two decades. He currently holds the NBA record for consecutive double-digit scoring with 1,800.
Additionally, he is the only player in history to average 20 points per game for every season during his career. Even as the game continues to evolve, with different priorities, James has adjusted well and maintained a high percentage and average.
During his two-decade career, James averaged 71 games per season. No matter what, there seems to be no stopping him.
