NBA: 47 points and a win, happy birthday LeBron James!

We are never as well served as ourselves. Especially when you’re serving others at the same time… Once again, the Lakers have a big thank you to LeBron James. Los Angeles’ No. 6 unbreakable indeed celebrated her 38th birthday on Friday night with a new XXL performance against the Atlanta Hawks. 47 points (his season high), 10 rebounds, 9 assists in 40 minutes for the California franchise’s road success (130-121).

However, rather poorly on the board and up to 15 points behind, the Lakers have raised the bar since the end of the third quarter thanks to their star. “To score 30 points was not enough, so I tried 40,” the one who plays his 20th season in the NBA smiled after the game at a press conference. “This guy is just phenomenal, incredible,” blasted his coach Darwin Ham on ESPN. But this is what I expected, it did not shock me. »

The James tree was needed to hide the weakness of his team, which has been running a big deficit since the beginning of the season (15 successes with 21 losses). But King LeBron can keep dreaming of the playoffs. “Just a brilliant man, he put the team on his back and did what he’s been doing for the last 20 years,” Ham continued. Infernal performance. »

Almost a transformation. “I feel better than when I was 18,” began the American. At that time, I knew how to play in the NBA to take my place there. But I did not know what I would become, although I knew what I wanted. I keep working to be true to the game and then maybe I can become one of the greatest players in the game. I’ve always had fun on the field, with competition. So I wouldn’t say I’m 18, but I still felt young today. (Editor’s note: Friday evening). »
