After trailing most of the game, the Lakers took the win at home over the Phoenix Suns, thanks in big part to their star LeBron James

In what was looking to be their second back-to-back loss for the LA Lakers, the team was able to return to the game vs. the Phoenix Suns, thanks big time to LeBron James who at 38 years old continues to dominate and prove why he is still a top ten player in the league.

James is now in his year 21 in the NBA but he continues to play like he is twenty years old, even when he is officially the oldest guy playing the sport.

LeBron scored 21 points, had eight rebounds, nine assists, and two steals with a total of +20 in the plus/minus of the group. Fox Sports analyst Nick Wright has given his reaction to the game the Lakers star had.

"This guy is the oldest in the league, 500 minutes shy of the most minutes in the history of the league, and STILL in the best shape of anyone at the end of these games… got more in the tank, can get to the rim to close the game better than anyone alive. Truly unreal." Wright said.

LeBron's minute restriction only lasted one game

The narrative of LeBron James seeing his playing minutes be restricted this season only lasted two games. James was mad because of game one, he sent a message, the organization listened and now LeBron played for 35 minutes.
