Last season, James, who was already 40, still averaged 24.4 points, 7.8 rebounds and 8.2 assists per game, and he still played 70 games despite an injury, exceeding the minimum attendance requirement of 65 games, so he was successfully selected for the All-A-Second Team.
James' birthday is December 30, which is the penultimate day of each year. After celebrating his 40th birthday last season, James's performance became more and more courageous, and his performance was better than the first half of the season, and he also became the Western Conference Player of the Month in February. This is also the best James has become the month after five years. The last time was in February 2020. After being over 40 years old, James has also become the oldest player of the month in history, breaking the historical record held by Carl Malone (37 years old).
Throughout February, after experiencing a big deal between Davis and Doncic, James still led the Lakers to a record of 10 wins and 2 losses, and averaged 29.3 points, 10.5 rebounds and 6.9 assists per game, so he deserved the best of the month. The Lakers were finally ranked third in the West, and James did make a great contribution, so he was finally selected for the All-A Second Team.
In addition, after spending 40 years old, James averaged 25.1 points, 7.9 rebounds, 7.7 assists per game. In history, no player over 40 has ever been able to perform like this. Even Jordan, who is 40 years old, has scored more than 20 points per game, but he is not as good as James.
However, it is very unfortunate that since James' average score per game was a little lower in the first half of the season, he did not exceed 25 points in the entire season, and the record of 25+ points per game per game for 20 consecutive years was interrupted. In fact, with James' strength, he was able to average 25+ per game last season. It was just because the All-Stars suffered an injury and his condition was greatly affected. He scored less than 20 points in several games, so he lowered his average score in the season.
Even if he averaged less than 25 points per game in the season, James' personal performance last season was also very outstanding, especially considering that he is 40 years old and has been playing in the NBA for 22 years, it is even more commendable. Next season, James will also usher in his 23rd season of his career, setting a new historical record, and his personal performance should still be excellent.
