Many have doubted that LeBron James can still carry his team to big wins in the playoffs, but that's exactly what he's doing for the Lakers.
For the last several years, people have waited for LeBron James to decline due to wear and tear. He's in his record 23rd NBA season, and yet, he has yet to show any real signs of slippage, whether it has come to his ability, production or even his overall athleticism. Ever since Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves suffered injuries on April 2, James has shifted back to being the Los Angeles Lakers ' primary scorer and facilitator, and he has done so seamlessly.
In the first three games of the team's first-round playoff series against the Houston Rockets, he's averaging 25. 3 points, 9. 7 rebounds and 8.
7 assists a game, and he's shooting 47. 4% from the field and even 43. 8% from 3-point range.
