LeBron James continues to oppose the throne of the best player in basketball history. At the moment he has the crown as the current monarch of an NBA that has been dominating relentlessly in the last 19 years and that continues to attend, stunned, the exhibitions of a player who, at 37 years old, continues to beat impossible records for the rest of the mortals.
The forward disguised himself as an alien again against the Golden State Warriors and saved the Lakers with 56 points (19 of 31 shooting, 6 of 11 triples, 12 of 13 free throws), 10 rebounds, 3 assists and a block. Numbers that allow him to knock down, once again, the doors of a story that is too small for him.
“Right now I don’t care about the 56 points: I’m just happy because we got the win“, Said the forward after signing his best scoring game with the Lakers jersey.
LeBron James, the longest record
With this record, LeBron James becomes the first player to score more than 50 points under the age of 21 and to exceed that figure over the age of 37. In addition, his 56 points against the Warriors put him in the exclusive club of players who have scored more than 50 points with more than 37 years, where only Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant and Jamal Crawford appear.
Lakers coach Frank Vogel also surrendered to the great match of who, in his opinion, is the best player in basketball history. “There really are no words for it. An incredible performance,” he said. “What else can you say about him…” Carmelo Anthony admitted.
