The '25-point playoff games after 35' quiz

The Los Angeles Lakers got through their First Round series against the Houston Rockets without Austin Reaves for much of it and Luka Doncic for all of it. 

But tonight a much taller task begins, as they head to Oklahoma City to take on the defending champions in Game 1 of the Western Conference Semifinals. With Luka still apparently “not close ,” to returning from the hamstring injury he suffered against these Thunder in April, the Lakers will lean on LeBron James

James has plenty of experience carrying teams through postseasons in his 23-year career, but eliminating this Thunder squad at 41 years old would be one of the most impressive feats on his resume. Bizarrely, he’ll take the floor tonight at same age as both his head coach (JJ Redick) and OKC’s head coach (Mark Daigenault)

Which brings us to today’s quiz. James is one of 30 players in NBA history to score at least 25 points in multiple playoff games after turning 35 years old. With that being said, can you name the players with multiple 25-point playoff games after turning 35 can you name in five minutes?

Good luck!
