We have all heard the popular saying that “Age is just a number.” If you want to see an example of the saying then all you have to do is watch Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James play basketball.

James has turned 37-years-old this season but plays like a player who is in the prime of his career. This season, the King has been putting on a scoring clinic in most games. He did it against the Golden State Warriors when he put up 56 points on the box score.

Following that amazing performance, he most recently dominated the Washington Wizards with a 50-piece. James became the first player in NBA history to score 50 or more points twice after turning 35 years old.

Apart from creating that record, James also climbed up ranks in another category. After the stunning victory against the Wizards, LeBron is now leading the race to win the scoring title.

He is currently averaging 29.71 points per game. With a few more games left in the regular season, he definitely has a chance to either further increase his lead or maintain at this pace.

But it will be a tough task as right behind him is the Philadelphia 76ers superstar Joel Embiid with an average of 29.68 points per game. The glaring difference between the two superstars is the fact that James is towards the end of his career while Embiid has entered the prime of his career.

It is a true testament to James’ ability to take good care of his body and still play at an elite level in the NBA.

Although James has a chance at winning the scoring title this season, it will be a bittersweet moment for the King if he indeed manages to win it. After all, the Los Angeles Lakers have struggled to play consistently throughout the season.

Despite LBJ’s best efforts, the Lakers are currently on the 9th spot in the Western Conference table. And with the season almost over, it is unlikely that their spot will change. Hopefully, they can bounce back in the play-in tournament and at least manage to book a place in the postseason.
