NEW YORK -- Few players have played basketball as long as LeBron James has, and the 39-year-old Los Angeles Lakers star continues to make a case that none have done it better at his age.
James scored 40 points in L.A.'s 116-104 win over the Brooklyn Nets on Sunday, joining Michael Jordan as the only players in NBA history with multiple games of 40 points or more after the age of 39. James now has done it twice; Jordan, who played until he was 40, did it three times.
The 21-year veteran went 13-for-17 from the floor and tied a career high in 3s made, going 9-for-10 from deep.
