"At the end of the day, he's LeBron James," Maxey …
Sixers guard Tyrese Maxey described LeBron James as a calming presence in late-game situations. James' leadership has been a key factor in the team's success, with all five of their wins coming in clutch time, including two over a Knicks team that had won six straight in the series heading into the season, including a second-round playoff sweep leading to the NBA title.
Maxey highlighted James' impact, noting that "at the end of the day, he's LeBron James," as the star forward delivered a standout performance with 20 points, nine rebounds, and eight assists in a game. This marked James' first 20-point game of his Sixers career, surpassing every other player aged 40 or older in NBA history with such an accomplishment, having scored 20 or more points in 68 games since turning 40.
Moreover, James tied Hall of Fame center Kareem Abdul-Jabbar as the fifth-oldest player with a 20-point game, at the age of 41 years and 304 days.
