In an unexpected turn of events, NBA scout Mike Schmitz has expressed his astonishment regarding LeBron James’ performance during the current season at the age of 40. The scout initially anticipated a decline in James’ abilities, believing he would exhibit signs of aging this season. However, Schmitz was taken aback by James’ consistent high-level play, stating, ‘I thought he would look washed this season, but I was wrong.’ The Los Angeles Lakers superstar is proving critics wrong with his impressive stats. As of now, LeBron is averaging 24.9 points, 10.6 rebounds, and 7.9 assists per game, which puts him in a remarkable position compared to historical players at his age. Notably, these numbers surpass those of Derrick Rose during his MVP season in 2011, where Rose averaged 21.8 points, 3.4 rebounds, and 6.0 assists. Such performance continues to challenge the expectations of fans and experts alike, showcasing LeBron’s tenacity and skill despite being in the later stages of his career. With each game, LeBron is not only making history but also setting new benchmarks for what can be achieved at 40 in the NBA.
