The 39-year-old showed little drop-off in his 21st NBA season, at least on offense.
A pair of former Los Angeles Lakers big men briefly touched on current L.A. All-Star forward LeBron James' greatness.
On a recent episode of eight-time All-Star and former Lakers big man Dwight Howard's podcast, "Above The Rim With DH 12," the topic of which player was truly the league's greatest player of all time came up. Four-time All-Star center DeMarcus Cousins, who signed on with Los Angeles ahead of the team's 2019-20 championship run but didn't play a single game due to a season-ending injury, lauded James for “doing s— that’s unheard of” at the age of 39 and in his 21st season. “The motherf—– averaging 25 as a 40-year-old,” Cousins remarked.
Eight-time All-Star and three-time Defensive Player of the Year center Dwight Howard, who has played for the Lakers across three separate seasons, was also on that team in a reserve role, and claimed his first and only NBA title that fall. “You think it’s steroids?” Howard interrupted, asking about the possible cause of James' continued, time-defying excellence.Reserve combo guard Quinn Cook, himself a former 2020 Laker, also appeared on the pod.
