LeBron James keeps making NBA history with his latest ageless performance

LeBron James became the oldest player in NBA history to score 40 points.

LOS ANGELES — Age is more than just a number to LeBron James.

It’s also a target.

The 40-year-old James became the oldest player to score 40 points in an NBA game Thursday night, putting up a season-high 42 in the Los Angeles Lakers’ 120-112 victory over the Golden State Warriors.

James passed the record held by Michael Jordan, his idol and the only other NBA player to score 40 after his 40th birthday.

“I’m old, that’s my take,” James said when asked about his latest achievement. “I need a glass of wine and some sleep, that’s what I think.”
