The adjectives to describe what Lebron James is doing this season are running out. At 39 years old, the star of the Los Angeles Lakers seems to be presenting an even more improved version of himself, as evidenced by the fact that he has achieved something never seen before in his career, such as stringing together four games with a triple-double.

How far will this go? Is this a joke by some higher being laughing at humans by sending one of their own? Watching Lebron James makes one contemplate existential questions, seeing how, at 39 years old, he remains one of the best players in the entire NBA. It's not that there are no signs of decline, but it feels like the King enhances himself every season. Despite Los Angeles Lakers not seeming to have special competitive aspirations, when Anthony Davis adds to the excellence displayed by Lebron, anything can happen.

For the first time in his career, LeBron James put up a triple-double in four consecutive games.

As a result, the Angelinos have won four consecutive victories, starting their title defense in the NBA Cup with a good initial stride, having defeated the Spurs by 115-120. The Brow's performance was memorable, with 40 points and 12 rebounds, but nothing can overshadow a Lebron James who continues to defy logic. Los Angeles Lakers dare to dream of something major as long as the King keeps his crown shining bright, no matter how embarrassing it may be to rely on a 39-year-old player. However, when that almost forty-year-old is still one of the best in the world, there is no need to be ashamed.
