There is no question that James is one of the best to ever play the game. His long success in spite of playing through injuries is quite remarkable. He also hasn’t slowed much despite of his age.
James has battled injuries in recent weeks. He is still battling on the floor, though. He posted 38 points and 10 rebounds in the team’s Game 3 loss to Minnesota. The Lakers veteran also played a whopping 41 minutes in the game.
Lakers fans hope James has some gas left in the tank, as the team tries to win another NBA championship. James is working now alongside Luka Doncic, which is an exciting combination. The club must now come from behind to take the Timberwolves series.
The Lakers and Timberwolves do battle once again in Game 4 on Sunday.
