LeBron James has been nothing but great this season with the Los Angeles Lakers, and the superstar took things to a different level in the last nine matches, where he faced the best teams in the league and got the W against the biggest opponents.
It has been said a lot, but this something to remark: he is 35 years old and remains as one of the most dominant players in the world, taking the Lakers to get their first playoff berth since 2013. Over his last 9 games, James has been putting up some big numbers while earning huge victories for his team.
He averaged 30.3 points per game, 10.0 assists, and 8.1 rebounds while shooting 54 FG%, 33 3P% and 74 FT% in those games. In the process, Bron took his Lakers to beat big teams like the Milwaukee Bucks, Los Angeles Clippers, Denver Nuggets, Philadelphia 76ers, and Boston Celtics.

He’s been putting on a show in his recent matches, as he showed against Giannis Antetokounmpo last Friday, stopping the Greek Freak every time they clashed on the court.
Moreover, he got to work against the Clippers this past Sunday, making the difference in the game during the last minutes, attacking the weak spots of the Clips, giving the Lakers a huge win against their biggest rivals this campaign.
LeBron keeps surprising people and he doesn’t plan to stop there. This man is set to take this squad to the glory and given his recent performances, that looks highly likely.
