James, who was 37 years and 65 days old, scored 56 points and 10 rebounds, becoming the oldest player with 50 points and 10 rebounds in NBA history. A large number of media announced that he had surpassed the original record holder, Jordan's 33. Years and 19 days old, which is more than 4 years higher than the original record. That’s right. In fact, a more accurate division is that James scored 55 points + 10 rebounds this time. The original record holder was James who scored 55 points + 10 rebounds in the 1718 season. At that time, he was 32 years and 308 days old. There is no other record holder besides James. Who is it? By coincidence, Melo Anthony, one of James' banana boat brothers, scored 55 points and 10 rebounds in the 1314 season. He was only 29 years and 240 days old at the time. That is to say, except for James, the players in NBA history who can score 55 points and 10 rebounds are all before the age of 30. No one can get this data after the age of 30. After my introduction, do you think James is even more incredible? Yes, haha!
At the age of 37 years and 65 days, he still scored 56 points, becoming the second highest score scored by a player aged 33 and above in NBA history, second only to the score scored by Kobe Bryant in his retirement battle at the age of 37 years and 234 days. 60 points, tying the 56-point record of Karl Malone, who was 34 years and 257 days old, and Aldridge, who was 33 years and 175 days old. There is no doubt about his greatness!
On March 20, 2005, James scored 56 points and became the youngest player in NBA history to score 5 and 55+ at the age of 20 years and 80 days. It was not until 4 years later that Jennings scored 2 points. Breaking the record at the age of 52 days, James is still the second youngest person to score 5 and 55+. Yesterday, 17 years later, James scored 56 points again, becoming the second oldest player with 55+ points in history (second only to Kobe Bryant in his retirement battle). He can still score 55+ points after 17 years, which is unprecedented in NBA history. James has also become the only person who can score 5 points before the age of 21 and after the age of 35. Yes, this condition has been relaxed very much. But he is still the only person, and the conditions can be completely restricted to the only person who can score 55+ points before the age of 21 and after the age of 37, which shows the greatness of James.
This is the 26th time he has scored 3 points in a single game this season, once again setting a new record for the number of 3 points scored in a single season by a 37-year-old or older in NBA history. The original record was 37-year-old Karl Malone in 2000- Created 22 times in the 2001 season. James' next goal this season is to tie or refresh the number of 3 times in a single season for those aged 36 and above in league history. The current record holder is 27 times created by 36-year-old Karl Malone in the 1999-00 season, which is only one time away.
What is even more incredible is that James was able to score 3 points 26 times in his 19th season of his career, which is unprecedented in the 76-year history of the NBA. According to statistics, in the history of the NBA, all players except James have only scored 26+ and 3 times in the 15th season and subsequent seasons only twice. Once was when Kobe Bryant got it in the 1213 season, the 17th season of his career. 35 times with 3 points, and another time when Karl Malone got 27 times with 3 points in the 9900 season, the 15th season of his career.
