LeBron, anticipating having a basketball shorthand with Luka Doncic – as so few see the game at their level – noted that he’s seen it since the day Luka came into the NBA: “Just a super duper special talent.” – 1:06 AM

LeBron James has 42 points after that 3-pointer, becoming just the second 40-year-old in NBA history to score at least 40 in a game.
The other: Michael Jordan, who scored 43 points on Feb. 21, 2003, four days after turning 40. – 12:30 AM

LeBron James hits a 3 to put the Lakers up 115-106 with 1:08 to go. That’s a season-high 42 points for LeBron and the first time he’s topped the 40-point plateau since turning 40. – 12:30 AM

LA’s lead is 105-96 with 6:22 to play after two Reaves FT’s as LeBron (38 points, 15 boards, 7 assists) gets a rest.
Reaves has struggled from the field (3 for 15), but has battled his way to the FT line, and hit 10 of 11 attempts. – 12:18 AM

LeBron was ridiculous, reaching 23 points on 8 of 12 FG’s (5 of 6 from 3), with 11 rebounds and 5 assists to lead the way. – 11:06 PM

He couldn’t. Rich Paul couldn’t know. Nobody else could know. He knew AD was unhappy. He knew AD was unhappy—that’s what he knew. -via YouTube / February 7, 2025
