LOS ANGELES -- After becoming the oldest player in NBA history to top 40 points in the Los Angeles Lakers' 120-112 win over the Golden State Warriors, LeBron James stated the obvious about the achievement.
"What do I think? That I'm old," James said Thursday after scoring 42 points on 14-for-25 shooting to lead the Lakers to their 10th win in the past 12 games. "That's what I think. I need a glass of wine and some sleep, that's the first thing I think about."
James, at 40 years and 38 days old, is about a month older than Michael Jordan was when he scored 43 points on Feb.
