And in Redd&#8217;s latest social media post, he may have summed up the improbability of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportingnews.com\/ca\/nba\/los-angeles-lakers\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Los Angeles Lakers<\/a>&#8216; legend as well as anyone has.<\/p>\n<p>This is what Redd posted:<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">LJ and I played against each other his rookie year (and beyond).

LeBron came to the NBA out of high school, and now he&#8217;s 41, and he&#8217;s still chugging along.<\/p>\n<p>The post Redd interacted with showed LeBron&#8217;s last three stat lines, games that included 31, 26 and 30 points.<\/p>\n<p>Those are the three-highest point totals ever scored in an NBA game by a player 41 years or older.<\/p>\n<p>Before LeBron, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar held that record at 25 points. James has surpassed it in all three games since he turned 41.<\/p>\n<p>A stat came out the other day that LeBron played against Kevin Willis in his career, and Willis is now 63. Just the other day, James played against 19-year-old Cooper Flagg.<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s another stat circulating that James has played against more than one-third of the players who have ever suited up in the NBA.<\/p>\n<p>Everything about LeBron feels impossible.
