A look at LeBron James’ outstanding and historic play of late

Over the last few weeks, LeBron James has shifted things into a much higher gear.

In the first few weeks of this NBA season, LeBron James was inconsistent, and he often looked like a man who was 37 years old and in his 20th pro season.

More recently, he has looked like his usual potent self.

Over his last 14 games, the four-time MVP has averaged 28.6 points on 51.6% overall shooting and 37.4% from 3-point range, 8.2 rebounds and 5.9 assists per game.

His improved play has played a major role in the Los Angeles Lakers’ improved play after a 2-10 start.

James improved his season averages to 27 points on 48.5% shooting, 8.5 boards and 6.5 dimes a contest. When it comes to what others have done in their 20th seasons, there is simply no comparison.

Earlier in the schedule, James wasn’t attacking that much off the dribble, nor was he looking to create transition opportunities. But now, he is moving around with decisiveness and purpose, not to mention aggression, and his numbers reflect that.

He is at the point at which he has no peer when it comes to his longevity, except perhaps Lakers great Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.
