LeBron James is a legend of the game of basketball no matter what day he's playing on.
But on his birthday? It shouldn't surprise you one bit to know that LeBron James also gets the job done quite well whenever he's celebrating.
He'll get that chance again on Tuesday night when the Los Angeles Lakers take on the Utah Jazz.
James was born on Dec. 30, 1984, meaning he turns 41 years old on Tuesday.
Up to this point, he has played 10 games on his birthday.
His averages, via Essentially Sports:
- 32.9 points per game
- 7.1 rebounds per game
- 6.9 assists per game
- 55.5% field goals
- 34.8% 3-point field goals
- 74.5% free throws
- 6-4 record
James' career-high on a birthday came in 2009, when he scored 48 of the Cavs' 92 points in a win over the Wizards.
Nobody has scored as many birthday points as the King's 329.
Of course, it helps to have a birthday smack dab in the middle of basketball season.
Michael Jordan was born on Feb. 17, and he scored more than 250 birthday points, but James stands alone here.
It's not clear how many more NBA gamedays LeBron will have aligned with his birthday before retirement, so basketball fans should be sure to appreciate this one on Tuesday night as the King turns 41.
