"James became the oldest player to have a triple-double Thursday night, accomplishing the feat at 41 years and 44 days old during the Los Angeles Lakers' 124-104 victory at home over the Mavericks. James had 28 points and 12 assists when he grabbed his 10th rebound with 2:06 to play. He got a standing ovation from the Lakers' crowd when he checked out moments later with his 123rd career triple-double, the fifth-most in NBA history."
"Rebounding. The assists, obviously, are what I love the most. Being able to get my guys involved, throughout my career I've always loved that more than anything. And being able to put the ball in the basket, that's part of this game as well. So I think what it means, to be able to have your hand in three facets of the game, making an impact in those three, that's pretty cool."
LeBron James, in his 23rd NBA season at 41 years and 44 days old, recorded a triple-double as the Los Angeles Lakers beat the Dallas Mavericks 124-104. He finished with 28 points, 12 assists and 10 rebounds, marking his 123rd career triple-double and becoming the oldest player to do so. The mark is fifth-most in NBA history and broke Karl Malone's previous oldest-player triple-double record of 40 years and 127 days. James missed 18 games this season with injury but earned a 22nd All-Star selection and dominated a Mavericks team missing Luka Dončić. James views triple-doubles as a measure of impact across scoring, rebounding and playmaking.
