LeBron James is a week away from turning 41 years old.
He's playing like one of the best players in the NBA anyway for the Los Angeles Lakers.
A huge deal was made less than a month ago when James' double-digit scoring streak ended with a game that he only scored eight points.
Since then, LeBron is absolutely hooping.

Nikola Jokic and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander are this generation's top-two players. Cade Cunningham is a rising superstar. And then you've got the 40-year old James.
BPM is box plus/minus, essentially an all-encompassing stat in which the league's best players always rank right at the top.
James has always been one of the best in the league in this category, but it was looking like maybe he'd start to fall off a bit, finally.
But lately, James has been a superstar, as usual.
Don't take this for granted. There won't be much more LeBron playing on Christmas. Appreciate his greatness while he's here.
