King James Nearly Takes The Crown

LeBron James might be 30 years old and entering the tail end of his prime, but don’t tell him that. Finishing with 30 points to lead the East, he looked as spry and unstoppably athletic as ever.

We probably should’ve expected the King to know how to put on a good show in an All-Star Game at Madison Square Garden, but, come on:

While the West emerged victorious, LeBron James provided a very genuine reminder that he’s still an unstoppable locomotive disguised as an immensely talented basketball player. But locomotives don’t fly, so perhaps he’s a Transformer?

We’ll have to revisit this, but after notching 30 points last night, King James moved within three points of tying Kobe Bryant‘s record for all-time scoring in All-Star Games. My guess is the 2016 NBA All-Star Game will see King James take yet another crown in the NBA kingdom.
