As the oldest player in the NBA, Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James has seen some of the league’s best up-and-coming stars rise up the ranks and establish themselves as the next guard.

Tyrese Maxey entered Thursday’s game against Golden State off to one of the best scoring starts in franchise history.
