The 'Oldest 30-point game by NBA team' quiz

At 41 years old, LeBron James has taken a backseat (or as much of one as he can) to the Luka Doncic show in Los Angeles. But on Wednesday night he turned back the clock, scoring 30 points on 13-of-14 shooting from the floor with six dunks in their 124-116 win over Houston. LeBron admitted he was feeling his age following the Lakers seventh-consecutive win. 

“Right now, I feel like s—,” he said. “Before the game I didn’t feel great. I was tired and yawning. But in the game, I felt pretty good. 

After missing the first chunk of the season, James has averaged 21.5 points, 6.8 assists and 5.6 rebounds in a career-low 33.3 minutes-per-game. 

Which brings us to today’s quiz. James is one of just three players older than 40 years old to score 30 points in an NBA game and the oldest player to do so in a Lakers uniform. With that being said, can you name the oldest players to score at least 30 points in a game for every NBA franchise? 

Good luck!
