This performance once again placed him at the center of NBA history, making him the only player to record multiple 40-point games at 40 years old or older.
His first historic game came in a 120-112 victory against the Golden State Warriors, where he scored 42 points, leading the Lakers past a rival like Stephen Curry.
Despite the years and the expectations regarding his future, LeBron James continues to prove that time has no power over his game. After another standout victory, he shared his thoughts on what keeps him going, defying the passage of time and maintaining his top-level performance.
