Even at age 38 and in his 21st season, the Los Angeles Lakers’ LeBron James is showing no signs of slowing down.
He is shooting a high percentage (57%)Â as well as 37.3% from 3-point range, and he’s putting up 24.6 points, 8.6 rebounds and 6.1 assists a game even though his playing time is down.
On Wednesday against the Sacramento Kings, he had 28 points, 10 rebounds and 12 assists, giving him his first triple-double of the campaign. It was the 108th of his career, which moved him past Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Famer Jason Kidd into fifth place on the list of the most career triple-doubles in NBA history.
In addition, he became the second-oldest player to ever record a triple-double. The oldest was Karl Malone, who, interestingly enough, did so as a member of the Lakers during the 2003-04 season.
