LeBron James Shares His ‘Secret’ on Why He’s Still in His Prime at Age 36

Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James is making headlines with his age and performance.

The king of basketball turned 36 in December, but he is playing his best basketball. The Los Angeles Lakers even offered him a two-year contract extension worth $80 million. LeBron’s dominance won’t stop in the near future. One thing stands for sure. LeBron will definitely win a few more titles with his current team.

LeBron is in the middle of his 18 NBA season. He plays elite basketball. Let’s not forget that the man has played a lot of regular-season games. We saw him do wonders in 260 postseason games. That’s impressive!

LeBron James to win more titles at this age

In the 2020-21 NBA season, the four-time NBA champion is averaging 25.6 points, 7.9 rebounds, 7.9 assists, and 1.1 steals per game. These stats show us the bigger picture. LeBron has been this dominant throughout his entire career.

LeBron has enough motivation to win his fifth NBA title. He won his fourth ring with the Lakers in October. This is his fuel and his strength. He may not be playing 100% because of his pain and injuries. But, he is definitely playing 99%.

This dominance has helped the Lakers win 21 games in the regular season. The team is trying to defend the title they won in the NBA bubble. Anthony Davis is back on the court. Kyle Kuzma scores great points. Dennis Schroder is excellent too. In other words, the reigning champions are going after their next title.

Los Angeles is playing against the Brooklyn Nets. The Denver Nuggets come next on the list though. These two games are really important for the team. LA has an eight-game winning streak, and players will try to extend it on Sunday. Playing against the Nuggets is pretty challenging. They beat the team in Orlando. They will beat them again. Beating Kevin Durant, James Harden, and Kyrie Irving is a different story. It will be the biggest challenge the team will see this season. LeBron is ready for the game, and we can say the same for his teammates. LA goes big this season.
