During this season, the LA Lakers were really good because LeBron James played amazingly well in every aspect of the game, just like when he’s considered the best player in the league.
LeBron James, who is 39 years old and has played for 21 seasons, knows how to save his energy. When he gives his all on both offense and defense, the Lakers become a tough team to beat.
A fan on Twitter(X) wrote:
“Hundreds of times, a player has shot 72% at the rim. Hundreds of times, a player has shot 40% from three.
LeBron James in the 2023-24 season is the first player ever in the NBA to do both in the same season. (with at least 300 attempts of each)
• 73.0% at the rim (537 attempts) • 41.3% from three (361 attempts)”
In the first half of Sunday’s game, LeBron James reached a big milestone by getting his 11,000th assist in his career. This also confirmed that he’s the first NBA player to get 40,000 points, 11,000 rebounds, and 11,000 assists in his career.
LeBron James, who’s getting close to Chris Paul’s record for career assists, has 11,888 assists as of Sunday’s game. Chris Paul is third in NBA history for this.
Skip Bayless, who often has strong opinions about the 20-time All-Star, went on ‘X’ to praise LeBron’s performance:
“LeBron James is STILL the best passer in basketball — 13 assists in the first half at New Orleans. He can play bullyball, he can surgically remove your heart.”
