The Los Angeles Lakers’ 130-125 overtime victory over the Los Angeles Clippers on Wednesday night left Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum in awe of what LeBron James just put together on the court.
“The s**t Bron is doing is ridiculous lol,” Tatum said on X following another basketball clinic by James against one of the league’s top title contenders.

In 42 minutes, LeBron James led the Lakers with 35 points (including 12 in the fourth quarter), 12 rebounds, and seven assists. Those are figures that a 38-year-old veteran playing in his 21st season in the toughest basketball league in the world shouldn’t be able to muster, but LeBron James is an amazing athlete with a strange body.
LeBron James of the Los Angeles Lakers is still one of the finest in the NBA decades after making his debut. The fact that he’s still among the game’s finest despite all of the basketball miles in his legs is nothing short of a miracle.
Tatum led the Celtics to a 155-105 victory over the Indiana Pacers earlier Wednesday night, scoring 30 points, 12 rebounds, and four assists, but even he doubts he can have that kind of statistical production in an NBA game when he’s 38, assuming he’s still in the league by then.
On Christmas Day, when the Lakers host the Celtics at Crypto.com Arena, Jayson Tatum and LeBron James will meet for the first time this season.
