This performance marked his 12th game with at least 25 points after turning 40, surpassing Michael Jordan`s previous record. James shot 11-19 from the field, showcasing his enduring dominance in the league.

Despite being in his 22nd season, James continues to impress, averaging 24.7 points, 7.7 rebounds, and 8.9 assists per game this season, with a shooting percentage of 51.6%. His recent selection for the 21st consecutive All-Star Game further cements his status as one of the top players in the NBA.
