NBA superstar LeBron James drops another 50-point piece, becoming the oldest player to do so in a win over the Wizards.

Echoing NBA analyst Stephen A. Smith’s statement, when it’s all said and done, we’re going to miss LeBron James. The four-time champion never seizes to silence his critics. James was under lot of heat recently for not taking the possibly game-winning shot against the Houston Rockets.
And the King comes the next game and drops an efficient 50 piece. The Lakers have a 2-6 record since the All-Star break, and in both those victories, James had at least 50-points. The 37-year old continues to carry the team boasting Russell Westbrook and Anthony Davis (currently injured).
James is currently leading the league in scoring with no help from anyone. Once considered favorites to win it all, the purple and gold might not even make the playoffs, currently eight games below +500. However, the Lakers Nation can always tune in to witness the greatness of King James.
NBA Twitter erupted with reactions, singing praises of James. The eighteen-time All-Star also got his flowers from peers CJ McCollum, Ja Morant, and Trae Young.
