During Friday’s match, LeBron James made a stunning pass that has been making waves on social media. The Los Angeles Lakers triumphed over the Portland Trail Blazers, 107-95, thanks in part to James’ outstanding performance. He scored 35 points, grabbed five rebounds, and made nine assists, along with two steals, while shooting an impressive 13/22 from the field and 5/9 from three-point range. Nonetheless, it is James’ remarkable pass that has caught everyone’s attention.
Despite being 38 years old and having played in the NBA for 21 seasons, James continues to prove himself as one of the top ten players in the league. He’s been performing well this season, with an average of 25.5 points, 8.3 rebounds, 6.3 assists, and 1.6 steals per game. He’s also been shooting impressively, with a 57.2% field goal rate and a 39.7% success rate from three-point range. The Lakers recently won a game, bringing their record to 7-6 in the first 13 games of the season. This puts them in the seventh seed for the Western Conference.
After six seasons with the Lakers, James has successfully guided them to the NBA playoffs three times. The team’s most recent victory was in the 2020 NBA Championship against the Miami Heat, marking their first title since 2010. Looking ahead, the Lakers are set to face off against the Houston Rockets at home in Los Angeles on Sunday evening after winning two games in a row against the Trail Blazers.
In the previous season, the Lakers managed to secure the seventh spot in the western conference with their 43-39 record. They impressed everyone by defeating both Memphis Grizzlies and Golden State Warriors in the initial rounds of the NBA playoffs. Unfortunately, they couldn’t make it to the finals as they lost against the Denver Nuggets in the Western Conference Finals.
