If you were LeBron James, you would've answered the same way. "First of all, you don't let me have 40. I go get 40."
It's insulting to suggest, first, that defenders were strategically allowing LeBron access to the rim. And second, that scoring 40 against any defense at all is easy, much less against the best-rated defense in the league.
