The Los Angeles Lakers are back to winning ways with LeBron James’ massive 48 points on the night against the Houston Rockets. Although it was a win against a poor-performing team, the Lakers will find a boost in confidence. Before the huge win, LA struggled to meet the ends in the last quarter of the game. The major reason for that remains the holes in the Hollywood defense. After Anthony Davis’ injury, the team has not found any equally effective player at both ends of the court.
The impressive performance from the big man LeBron James despite being 38, is creating a huge buzz on the internet. Although it is not the first time the Lakers superstar has done such a feat, fans appreciate the efforts. After the game, James got a question about his dear friend who is not performing well in his sport. It was about none other than the legendary Tom Brady of the NFL, who is also a great friend to the Lakers forward. Brady is playing his 23rd season at the age of 45, and clouds of retirement consistently pass over him. So what did LeBron tell his favorite quarterback in the NFL?
LeBron James Wants Tom Brady To Continue His Career
The NBA legend and the NFL legend are both pretty much at the same stages of life. LeBron James is playing his 20th season at 38 and dominating the league like his younger self. At the same time, Tom completed his 23rd season with the Buccaneers. Although the 45-year-old did not have a great team season, his individual performances still awe the world. So, when the reporter asked LeBron about his fellow GOAT from different sports, he only had praise for him. He also referred to Brady as his favorite quarterback in the game and wished that Tom could continue to play.
However, the pain and struggle to maintain the body to play at such a high level is not a joke. And who else would understand that better than LeBron James? So he advised Brady to follow his heart.
LeBron Is Only A Few Points Away
The Lakers superstar has been amazing, and he is only getting better after every game of the season. On Sunday, he achieved a historic place in reaching 38000 points which only he and Kareem Abdul Jabbar had done. However, LeBron James is not far from breaking his record and taking the top spot on the list. After the spectacular 48 points performance on Monday, the 18-time All-star is only 316 points away from shattering the record.
It was not just LeBron James who enjoyed the court, but Westbrook is also pulling consistent performances. However, the fans are still unhappy about the last moment of the game against Philadelphia. After the game, Darvin Ham expressed how historic it would be for the Lakers superstar to achieve the feat.
