LeBron James is expected to surpass Magic Johnson as the NBA’s all-time leading scorer. In March of last year, he passed Karl Malone, and in early 2020, Kobe Bryant.
LeBron James is constantly breaking records
De’Aaron Fox shared the following in an interview with Sean Cunningham of Fox Sports following the Sacramento Kings’ recent victory over the Los Angeles Lakers:
“It’s amazing, man. I remember my first time playing him was in Cleveland. I think that’s probably the one surreal moment that I had playing against ‘Bron for the first time. Yeah, it’s amazing what he’s doing at this age, and he’s about to turn, what, 38? That doesn’t happen often and it’s not gonna happen probably again for a long time.”
Father time will eventually catch up with LeBron, but so far, he appears to have avoided it. The Fountain of Youth must be installed in his home. Every year, it appears that he finally takes a step back.
This season, it hasn’t, and Fox acknowledged that James’ conflict with Father Time is unique:
“Some things are given. There are a lot of guys who are extremely athletic and their bodies break down. They can try to maintain it but at the end of the day Father Time wins at some point. But ‘Bron’s battle against it is amazing.”

Given Anthony Davis’ prolonged absence, the Lakers need more of LeBron’s exceptional play. In the past two games, he has averaged 32.5 points and 9.5 assists, but those totals have not been sufficient to secure victories. As the New Year draws closer, the Lakers are in desperate need of a turnaround.
