The 39-year-old records his fourth consecutive triple-double for the first time in his two-decade-long career
The age is just a number, and the class is eternal. If you don't think so, just look at LeBron James, who's literally making history at the age of 39, playing with his own son for the Los Angeles Lakers.
LeBron recorded a fourth triple-double in a row for the first time in his long and prolific career as the LAL defeated the San Antonio Spurs 120-115 in the NBA Cup.

The 39-year-old managed 15 points, 15 rebounds and 12 assists as the Lakers started the defence of their title.
"The best thing about my game is I can have [no] rhythm offensively and still have an impact on the game," James said after the match.
"I was able to do that tonight."
James has matched the Lakers' franchise record for consecutive triple-doubles, set by Russell Westbrook in 2021 and Magic Johnson in 1987.
The Lakers won the inaugural NBA Cup in 2023, beating the Indiana Pacers 123-109 in the final.
