James has been plagued by injuries this season and was doubtful to start with an ankle problem.
He did not want to talk to the NBA at all after the victory game in which the Lakers broke a three-game losing streak.
For the Los Angeles Times, he told about the feeling and the bodily defects.
And getting to play against sons of players he himself played against and with during his career.
“Was extremely tired”
- I was extremely tired today.
The body felt as if it had been run over after the island walk against Philly (Philadelphia 76ers the day before) but as soon as I got out on the field and started to warm up, it is my job to go out and do the best I can, says James to the newspaper.
The Los Angeles Times has made a prediction for when James will take over the record as the NBA's all-time leading scorer.
If the 38-year-old, who is now second all-time, gets his body to last, it will take twelve games and the record will be broken on February 9 against the Milwaukee Bucks.
So on paper.
Then the work must also be done.
