NBA opinion: Breaking his own records - LeBron James’ historic 23rd season
LeBron James returned to the hardwood after a 14-game absence caused by sciatica, and his re-entry into the season has been both measured and impressive.
Even in the early stages, he has managed to adjust to the flow of games without disrupting the dynamics of a young Lakers roster.
At 40 years old and in his 23rd professional season, James is proving that age does not define impact.
His presence alone commands attention, and he has shown he can still score, create opportunities, and maintain a level of precision that few athletes can match at this stage of their careers.
