LeBron James is back in action for the 2023 preseason. James opted to take it easy and watch the Los Angeles Lakers’ exhibition game versus the Golden State Warriors. James is starting his 21st season in the NBA today against the Brooklyn Nets, and he’s better than ever.
LeBron James, of the Los Angeles Lakers, did his best Royce O’Neale impression by sinking a one-legged fade-away during a game against the Brooklyn Nets. James is still performing at a high level despite the fact that he will turn 39 in December.
As of this writing, James had scored 10 points, dished out 5 assists, and pulled down 3 boards in 17 minutes of action.
At the age of 38, LeBron James displayed a fantastic performance, averaging 28.9 points per game. His last season with a high scoring average was 2008-09, when he won the MVP award for the first time.
James’ shooting accuracy also stayed stable, as evidenced by his 50.0% overall field goal percentage and 32.1% success rate from beyond the arc in the previous campaign. James will turn 39 in December, but that doesn’t meаn he can’t continue to deliver impressive performances.
James was asked his thoughts on becoming the NBA’s oldest player on camera by a member of the media during LA Lakers training camp. LBJ gave the camera a hilarious scream of amazement before he thunderously slammed the ball into the hoop. While James himself didn’t comment, the message was clear: James’s age won’t be an issue for the upcoming 2023-24 season.
The “King” isn’t slowing down yet, so fans have a long way to go before they have to worry about a decline in quality. The only thing that can currently prevent James from performing at his peak is an ιnjury.
