JJ Redick Praises LeBron James' Historic Achievements at Age 40

The Lakers coach highlights James' unmatched dedication and record-breaking performances in his 22nd NBA season.

LeBron James became the first NBA player to record multiple 40-point games after turning 40 years old.
In the Lakers' 110-102 victory over the Portland Trail Blazers, James also surpassed Vince Carter for third place on the all-time games played list with 1,542 career games.
JJ Redick, in his first season as Lakers head coach, lauded James' work ethic, calling him an inspiration for his commitment to the game despite his age and billionaire status.
James cited his love for basketball and the opportunity to set an example for his son, Bronny, as key motivations for continuing to play at an elite level.
In February 2025, James is averaging nearly 30 points, 9 rebounds, and 8 assists per game, leading the Lakers to a strong 5-2 record for the month.
