When LeBron James could only score 16 points in the season opener against the Minnesota Timberwolves, there was a lot of noise. People immediately tried to see through his performance, describing him as an aging prospect. However, as the matches went on, King James seemed to be getting back his mojo. Playing against the Phoenix Suns, James scored 21 points. And if this was not enough, his performance against the Kings lately has everyone swept off their feet.
LeBron James dominated the Crypto.com arena, shunning the Kings’ challenge. Together with Anthony Davis, James’ heroics took the Lakers over the line 131-127. King James dropped 32 points in the match, which is in itself a huge accomplishment. But the timing of a majority of those made even JJ Redick sit up and applaud. With the game getting tight in the fourth quarter, James needed just three minutes to turn the game around.
Between 11:22 and 8:23, the audience at the Crypto.com arena saw a LeBron James special. He went on a 16-point rout to take the Kings out of the equation. Thrilled by the showing, head coach JJ Redick said to the reporters, “To get that performance to start the fourth from LeBron, what can you say? We’ve all been fortunate to watch his greatness for very long, and he’s still doing it is insane.”
The four time NBA champion not only took the points but also was a constant threat for the Kings with his daunting presence. Ending the game with his 131st triple-double successfully achieved, James is surely fancying a championship run. Interestingly, a piece of stat doing the rounds has just added fuel to the possibility.
