SAN FRANCISCO -- After becoming the NBA's all-time leader in Christmas Day victories -- earning his 11th in his 19th appearance in the Los Angeles Lakers' 115-113 win over the Golden State Warriors -- LeBron James was asked what still makes the league special in today's sports landscape.
"LeBron and Steph [Curry]," James said with a smile.
Indeed, nearly a decade after the pair met for the first of four straight showdowns in the NBA Finals and less than a week before James' 40th birthday, the duo looked as dominant as ever Wednesday.
James led L.A. with 31 points on 12-for-22 shooting and tallied 10 assists with just one turnover.
