LeBron James spoke to the media after the Los Angeles Lakers defeated the Brooklyn Nets by 116:104.
He scored 40 points with incredible shooting percentages. He made 14 out of 17 field goal attempts and was accurate from beyond the three-point line except for one miss (9/10). In addition to that, he contributed seven rebounds and five assists.
This achievement puts him in the company of the legendary Michael Jordan, making them the only two players in NBA history to score 40 or more points in multiple games at the age of 39 or older. Michael Jordan accomplished this feat three times and played until he was 40, while this was the second such game for the Lakers superstar.
