LeBron James is simply unstoppable: Even at the advanced age of 38, “King James” still manages incredible highlights in his record career. Against Memphis he provides a novelty. For the Los Angeles Lakers, the eternal spring of the superstar is worth its weight in gold.

LeBron James flexed his mighty mountains of muscle, patted himself twice on the heart and roared his joy in wild jubilation. “I love these moments and the playoffs,” said the basketball star, who was expecting a loud “Määääääh” in the Los Angeles Lakers dressing room.

His teammates around national player Dennis Schröder paid homage to “King James” after an amazing performance at 117:111 after overtime against the Memphis Grizzlies and imitated goat sounds – it is the animal that symbolizes the GOAT (English word for goat), the greatest in history .

Stunning stats

The all-rounder has long since earned an exceptional position. But even at an advanced professional age, the most successful thrower in the history of the league continues to collect records – and with irrepressible greed brings his team very close to reaching the quarter-finals in the NBA championship round. The 38-year-old had 22 points, 20 rebounds in the fourth game of the best-of-seven series. A novelty at his age and despite foot problems that have occupied the superstar for months.

Much more important to the four-time champion was the next step with his team, which struggled for a long time in the main season and only qualified for the playoffs via the play-in tournament. But suddenly the Lakers are there and seem aggressive. Schröder also played his part with twelve points.

“I’m just trying to play my role”

But once again, the top star with number 6 was the center of attention. “I’m just trying to play my role, I’ll do whatever the team needs to be successful,” said James: “We’ll be ready for that next game.” But he also added that it would continue to be very difficult. The Grizzlies around Ja Morant are “very, very strong and well coached”.

James had rescued his team into overtime with just 0.8 seconds left in what could have been a seminal third win against Memphis, where he himself made the decision. This means that LA already has the first of three match balls on Thursday night in Memphis.
