LeBron James Reflects on Making NBA History with Triple-Double in Lakers' Win vs. Mavs

LeBron James keeps finding ways to make NBA history 23 years into his career, this time becoming the oldest player ever to record a triple-double in a game to lead the Los Angeles Lakers to a 124-104 win over the Dallas Mavericks on Thursday. Speaking to reporters after the game, James had a reflective tone when talking about his 28-point, 12-rebound, 10-rebound performance. "I'm more appreciative of moments like this in my career, understanding where I'm at," said James. "I'm at the later stage of my journey, so definitely taking it in a little bit more." The Lakers are still playing without Luka Dončić due to a hamstring injury. Austin Reaves remains on a minutes restriction as he works his way back into peak condition following a calf injury. This has put more of an onus on James to carry the burden for Los Angeles recently. He's been more than up to the task, averaging 21.8 points, 10.5 assists and 6.8 rebounds per game in his last four st...
