JJ Redick was in awe after LeBron James, the $1.2 billion NBA titan, dazzled with a 40-point showcase in the Lakers’ 110-102 win over the Portland Trail Blazers.
Despite being a game-time decision, LeBron suited up, pushing through a grueling back-to-back and logging 35 minutes—second only to Austin Reaves’ 40.
“He just defies normal,” Redick told reporters postgame. “It’s not just his physical abilities—it’s his mindset. He’s a billionaire out there grinding on the second night of a back-to-back. That’s insane.”
With this win, the Lakers climb to 33-21, securing the 5th spot in the Western Conference.
LeBron’s Secret Weapon? Sleep.
Postgame, LeBron credited his stellar performance to—you guessed it—naps. “I woke up at noon, got some treatment, napped again, and woke up at 4:30 PM,” James shared with a grin. When pressed for more sleep hacks, he teased, “I’ve got my methods.”
At 40, LeBron is still an unstoppable force, averaging:
- 24.3 PPG
- 7.7 RPG
- 9.0 APG
- 51.5% FG | 39.4% 3PT | 76.1% FT
