LeBron James: Still Dominating After 23 Seasons

LeBron James is back on the court, and he's still proving why he's one of the greatest to ever play the game. The 40-year-old started his 23rd NBA season with the Los Angeles Lakers, making history as the first player to ever play in that many seasons. He may not be in perfect shape yet, but he showed he can still make a big impact. James had 11 points, 12 assists, and three rebounds in the Lakers' win over the Utah Jazz. He played 29 minutes, and even though he was a bit out of breath at times, he still managed to help his team win. He said the pace of the game tested him, but he was happy with how he played. It's been almost seven months since James last played a game, and he's had some injuries to deal with. He had sciatica, which kept him out of the preseason and the first 14 games of the regular season. But he didn't let that stop him from coming back and making an impact. James is known for his ability to fit in with any team, and he proved that again on Tuesday. He said he watched the Lakers' games while he was injured and figured out how he could help the team. He also said he can gain a lot of attention when he has the ball, which is something the defense has to pay attention to. Lakers coach JJ Redick said James played with the right spirit and made a lot of great decisions. He also said James is a superhero to a lot of people, including himself. Redick said James has done things in the game that only a handful of players have been able to do. James is now just 48 games behind the NBA record for regular-season games played, which is held by Robert Parish. He already holds the record for most total minutes played and most regular-season and playoff games combined. He's also a four-time NBA Finals MVP, four-time league MVP, and 21-time All-Star. James hasn't said if this will be his last season or not. He's had some injuries lately, but he's still playing at a high level. He started his career with the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2003, and he's been dominating the game ever since.
