"Look at me right now. Right now, I feel like s---. But in the game, I felt pretty good. Before the game, I didn't feel that great. I mean, I was yawning and tired and telling myself, I was literally just like talking to myself like, 'Come on, here we go. Let's figure it out. Let's get through it.' But I felt pretty good in the game."
"The fact that he's 41, he's still as athletic or more athletic than about 95 percent of the league -- still -- and he's probably, I think everybody would agree, has lost a little athleticism. It's just insane to think [about]. It's absolutely mind-blowing."
"According to ESPN Research, James hadn't had that many dunks in a game since March 9, 2017. James threw down three alley-oops, matching his most in any game during his legendary 23-year career."
LeBron James delivered an exceptional performance against the Houston Rockets despite feeling physically worn out before the game. He scored 30 points on near-perfect shooting (13-of-14) and recorded six dunks, including three alley-oops—matching his career high for alley-oops in a single game. This marked his most dunks in a game since 2017. Despite ice packs on his elbows and knees after the game, James acknowledged feeling his age while praising his in-game performance. His teammates, including Luka Doncic (40 points, 9 rebounds, 10 assists) and Austin Reaves, expressed amazement at his athleticism and physical capabilities at 41 years old. The Lakers extended their winning streak to seven games with the victory.
