'Stop it LeBron James': Draymond Green left in awe of Lakers star's 4th quarter performance against Ja Morant's Grizzlies

One would assume that in his 18th year, LeBron James would slow down for a bit, but he continues to go hard every game.

At one point in the first quarter, the Lakers found themselves at a difficult spot trailing 22-2. The Lakers roared back to win the game 115-105, behind an impressive performance by James and AD.

The 36-year-old ‘King James’ had a fabulous outing with 28 points, 9 rebounds, and 8 assists. His performance brought back life into the Lakers team which helped them win the match. Draymond Green of the Warriors was left in awe of James’ performance, who tweeted after the game:

‘He’s one of the greatest players of all time’: Lakers forward Kyle Kuzma on LeBron James

The defending NBA champions have now won their 7th consecutive game. They often found themselves in a tough situation, but behind LeBron’s MVP like performance, they always seemed to come back.

Kyle Kuzma also finished the game with a big 20-point and 10-rebound performance. When he was asked his opinions of LeBron James, Kuzma said:

“He’s one of the greatest players of all time. You know, he’s been in the league (for) 18 years. Seen every defense, knows every coverage, knows every play that everyone’s running. He knows how to take over games. When you master your craft, you kind of just knows how to simplify things and have a more cerebral approach.”
