Despite the Lakers being eliminated, LeBron James was tremendous in defeat

The Los Angeles Lakers fought until the last minute, but they got swept by the Denver Nuggets, who won four straight games and sent the Lakers home to end the season.

LeBron James scored 40 points, had ten rebounds, nine assists, and two steals, giving his best performance of the playoffs, but it wasn't enough for the team that got eliminated for being down 2 points.

Anthony Davis had a disastrous performance, and now the team has been eliminated, and the road for the next season has started. Many rumors of the team looking to sign Kyrie Irving o Trae Young are already surfacing.

Even when the team loses, what LeBron James does is fantastic, and at 38 years old, he is more impressive as he is in his year 20 and keeps playing on the highest of levels.

LeBron James has the highest record for most scored points in the playoffs

The Lakers superstar achieved an 8k in the playoffs. That's over 2,000 more than any other player. King James gets appreciated. The Los Angeles official Twitter account congratulated LeBron.
