LeBron James is simply not human as NBA fans continue to marvel that he is still at the top of his game at his advanced age.

LeBron James and Kevin Durant were about as advertised as both battled on Thursday night to try and secure a victory for their team. NBA superstars LeBron James and Kevin Durant met for the first time since 2018 on Thursday night, and they didn’t disappoint.

 

James, who will turn 39 years old in two months, might be on a minutes restriction but he still showed just how freakishly athletic he is during one point in the game at Crypto.com arena.

One photo shows LeBron skying high to deflect a pass to Kevin Durant and it seemed so fake to see him so far off the ground, but it was very real.

Social media was in shock:

LeBron is not human. https://t.co/owVLFAXuNo

James, who played only 29 minutes in the Lakers’ season opener Tuesday and is expected to have his playing time limited this season, stayed on the court for the entire fourth quarter to lead the Lakers’ comeback to secure their first victory of the year.

James tallied 10 of his 21 points in the final period, including a go-ahead layup with less than two minutes to go in the game.

The Lakers are trying to start this year off much better than they did last year where they had to battle just to make the playoffs.
