The Los Angeles Lakers are struggling in this season’s championship and are in ninth place in the Western Conference. LeBron James, however, is not stopping to show why he is known as ‘The King.’ Based on his recent performances with the Lakers, he has shown a great ability to score for his team. A few games ago against the Golden State Warriors, he scored a season-high 56 points and led the team to a victory at a score of 116-124.
It hasn’t been a long time since then and the 37-year-old superstar showed his dominance once again. He put in a great performance in his last matchup against the Washington Wizards on Friday night. ‘The King’ racked up 50 points, which is the 15th time in his career he has done that.
He also became the only player in history to have multiple 50+ point performances after turning 35. During an interview after the game, James talked about his mother watching his 50 point show live.
