Why are there voices of ‘concern’ over James’ MVP-level performance at the age of 38?
LeBron James (Los Angeles Lakers) is performing at an MVP level.
James played 40 minutes against the Houston Rockets on the 20th (Korean time) and recorded 37 points, 6 rebounds, and 8 assists, leading the team to a 105-104 victory. He made the final free throw to make it 104-104.
James is averaging 26.4 points, 8.2 rebounds, and 6.5 assists this season. The field goal success rate is 58.6%. Even though he is 38 years old, he is performing as well as a young player.
Thanks to this, the Lakers also finished with 8 wins and 6 losses.
However, there are concerns that the team may be relaxing too much from the beginning of the season.
Lake Show Life reported on the 21st that James' post-game comments were worrying fans.
“I’m not feeling too good right now. I’m dealing with a few injuries and I’m feeling a bit out of shape at the moment,” James said.
The media said, "It would be nice to do this next May, but it is somewhat concerning that the team is asking too much from a player who will soon turn 39 at the beginning of the season."
"It's amazing that James can make these types of plays at his age, considering he's not 100 percent," he said. “We must not lose it,” he warned.
He continued, "It doesn't matter how good LeBron played in November if the Lakers are going to empty James and he can't produce in the playoffs. Like it or not, James will be 39 years old when the playoffs start and he's been a hot commodity in recent years. "He's had injury issues for years. It's great to see him play like this every night, but coach Davin Ham needs to take control and get LeBron out."
James played just 29 minutes in the first game of the season, and Hamm has said he will continue to do so.
James made it clear that he disagreed. Since then, James has averaged 34.4 minutes and has played more than 35 minutes in nine games.
The media explained, "There are only 10 players who have played like this. James ranks 22nd in playing time this season."
"November basketball is great, but it's a lot less important than the basketball you play in April, May and June. The Lakers need to remember that and manage James' minutes well until the games really matter," the outlet said. He emphasized. https://www.totosafedb.com/
