The list of NBA players to average 35 or more minutes/game in their age-38 season or later definitely is appropriate:
LeBron James this season (36.2 mpg)
Michael Jordan (37 mpg in 2002-03 at 39)
Karl Malone (38 mpg at 38 and 36.2 at 39 in 2002-03) – 12:23 PM

It’s obviously more likely than not that LeBron James finishes his career as a Laker. But on the off chance his desire for more titles doesn’t mesh w/the pace of L.A.’s team construction, are there deals this summer that would make sense? In @TheAthletic: bit.ly/3wc31CI – 12:00 PM

Worst of the Worst: Russell Westbrook’s decision to shoot on the final possession instead to passing to a red-hot LeBron James.

Russ played well but in this situation— down 1, final play — hate this iso. Doesn’t attack immediately. Defense sets. Help rotation at the rim. Better off reversing it. LBJ will cause the defense to pull and open a crease, Russ might get it back making a 45 cut. More options🤷🏽

Final: Sixers 113, Lakers 112
A mind-boggling final possession there by Russell Westbrook and the Lakers. Can’t have the game end that way. LA drops to 19-24. LeBron James had 35 points, 8 rebounds + 10 assists. Westbrook had 20 pts, 14 reb + 11 ast.
Up next: vs. HOU tomorrow. – 11:57 PM

Embiid checks LeBron again way too high. Gets easily beat. Forces help. Leads to a lakers open corner 3. Then Joel takes a terrible shot. This Sixers win looked like street Ball. – 11:54 PM

Harden has been really good yet again offensively. 24 points on 9-14 shooting to go with 11 assists.
But that’s a biggie as Embiid fouls LeBron on a 3. No flagrant, though. – 11:38 PM

Embiid got some help with a few 3s from his teammates, so the Sixers will take an 86-83 lead into the fourth.
But this is about to be the dangerous spot for the Sixers: Embiid will sit with LeBron in for the Lakers. Harden came in with 11:00 left in the fourth last night. – 11:17 PM

Sixers lead the Lakers 33-32 after one quarter.
All-bench lineup (which now includes Tyrese Maxey) against LeBron seems like playing with fire, but in fairness, LeBron (16 points) did not have much trouble with P.J. Tucker either. Could be a high-scoring game. – 10:07 PM

More on this storyline
Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James eclipsed 38,000 career points Sunday night against the Philadelphia 76ers. Here’s what you need to know: James joins Kareem Abdul-Jabbar as the second player to reach 38,000 career points. The four-time Finals MVP reached his 38,000th point on a 20-foot jumper with 5:43 remaining in the first quarter. Coming into Sunday’s game, James posted averages of 29 points, 8.4 rebounds and 6.8 assists per game on 50.3 percent shooting from the field. James scored 35 points against the Sixers in a 113-112 loss. After Sunday’s game, James is at 38,024 career points. -via The Athletic / January 16, 2023
Dave McMenamin: Doc Rivers on LeBron James: “I think he’s going to have the greatest career of all time. I think he’s already had it. And that’s not … I think Michael [Jordan] is the greatest of all time, but that doesn’t take anything away from LeBron. LeBron’s had the greatest career” -via Twitter @mcten / January 16, 2023
