In his 22nd NBA season, and having just turned 40 years old, Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James continues to defy all matters of how good a player can be at this stage of his career. More proof of that came on Friday night as he passed Michael Jordan for most career 30-point games in the Lakers’ win over the Atlanta Hawks.
It wasn’t that long ago that many were questioning if LeBron was finally hitting his decline, but he has quickly turned that around and the Lakers are benefitting from it. There has always been a ton of outside noise surrounding James, but the Lakers star pays little attention to it.
