LeBron James is 41 and feeling young in Philly. He had his best game yet with the 76ers
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — LeBron James turns 42 in exactly two months and is in his record 24th NBA season. He's already played the best games of his career.
LeBron James, who turns 42 in two months, is experiencing his best game yet with the Philadelphia 76ers. In a game against the NBA champion Knicks, James delivered a vintage performance, showcasing his elite game when it matters most. He dominated in the post against Mikal Bridges, blocked OG Anunoby for a shot, and ultimately secured the win for the Sixers with a tip-in with 1:10 left on the clock.
Despite the Sixers slipping to a 14-point lead in the fourth quarter, James proved to be the calming influence on the team, guiding them to a 98-93 victory. Coach Nick Nurse confirmed James had his best game of the season, tying Kareem Abdul-Jabbar as the fifth-oldest player in NBA history to record a 20-point game.
