In the world of athletic competition, young blood is always highly prized. However, there are some players who can stand tall in the torrent of time, proving that age is just a number. James, Durant and Curry, the oldest stars in the league, are the best examples. Not only are their stats still flashy, their dominance still strong, but they are also breaking records.
Take James, who is about to turn 39, as an example, his performance in the recent period has once again played at the competitive level of the active No. 1 player. In the game against the Thunder, James played 37 minutes and 18 seconds, shooting 13-of-20, 5-of-5 three-pointers, 9-of-9 free throws, scoring a season-high 40 points, and 7 rebounds, 7 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks, helping the team end a four-game losing streak. The stats of this game, for James, are more than just a win. The history he made in this game is even more amazing. Statistically, James became the oldest player in history to score at least 40 points and shoot 100 percent from three-point range. Behind this record is James's extraordinary strength and outstanding performance.
The scoring contribution of 40 points in a single game also once again set a new record for the highest single-game score in the history of a player in the 21st season of his career. The birth of this record is the best testimony to James's career. He is still in excellent form at this age, which makes one have to admire his perseverance and determination. In addition, James also set a new record for the highest score in a single game with a three-point shooting rate of 65%+100%+100%. This record is a great testament to James' all-round performance in the game. Whether it's attacking or defending, he can play at a very high level.
Throughout the last seven games, James's average data per game has also come to 38 points, 8 rebounds and 10 assists, and the three-point shooting rate has reached 50%. This data is jaw-dropping. At this age, being able to maintain such a good performance is enough to say that James is strong and in shape.
However, for James, none of this is what makes him the most amazing. What he is most admirable about is that he is still improving even when he is about to turn 39. His three-point aggressiveness has improved again, making him more difficult to guard against on the offensive end. Moreover, according to the league's statistics, James' efficiency at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends this season is still in the top 10% of the league. This kind of performance is enough to put any young player to shame.
Looking back before the start of the regular season this season, many fans believed that James was about to turn 39 years old, and his statistics in all aspects would inevitably decline. But he never expected James to improve this season. This performance is not only amazing, but also makes people re-examine the strength and potential of the legendary star. In this day and age, competitive sports are becoming more and more competitive. And a player like James can maintain excellent form and performance in such an environment, constantly breaking various records. His presence proves that age is not a limiting factor in a player's development. As long as you have dreams and move forward bravely, everyone can create their own brilliance on the field of life.
There is no doubt that James' performance was not only amazing, but also a vivid lesson to fans who despise his age and doubt his abilities. He has proved his strength and value with practical actions, and he is still at his peak, continuing to write his legendary chapter. There are still many more records to be set in the future, and we believe that in the near future, we will witness more historical moments created by this legendary footballer.
