LeBron James became the first player to average 30+ points as a 37-year-old. He wants more.
In his last game as a 37-year-old, James scored 27 points, grabbed nine rebounds and dished six assists. It gave him an average of 30.1 points per game during his birthday year, which almost corresponds to the calendar year – LeBron was born December 30, 1984. That’s easily the most of any 37-year-old in history, well above Karl Malone’s 23.2 PPG.
But it also came in a loss, as the Lakers fell to 14-21, the worst record for a James team through 35 games since his rookie season. And King James wasn’t happy afterward.
