Despite being 40 years old, James has looked very energetic on the court and it’s led to him playing great basketball.For the year, James has averaged 24.9 points, 8.1 rebounds, 8.6 assists, and 0.9 steals per game. James has also been shooting 39.5 percent from beyond the 3-point line this season, showing off his impressive range from distance.James just scored 28 points against the Clippers on Friday as he helped the Lakers get a big win over their intercity rivals. The Lakers still rely on James a lot despite his advanced age but he has shown that he is able to carry the load well.Some of the things that James has continued to do on the basketball court have never been seen before. His ability to still dominate at his age has amazed everyone around the NBA world and he has shown no signs of slowing down.For the Lakers to be successful this season, James will need to continue playing at such a high level. But with Doncic in the fold now, James doesn’t have to be the best player on the court every night. The acquisition of Doncic has changed everything for this Lakers team, both in the present and in the future. Los Angeles is in search of another title this year and they feel very good about their odds at this time.More Lakers news: Lakers’ LeBron James Rips Into Question About ‘Face of NBA’ DramaLakers Provide Significant Update on Austin Reaves’ Calf InjuryFor more news and notes on the Los Angeles Lakers, visit Los Angeles Lakers on SI.
