LeBron James Comes Inches from Historic Triple-Double in Thrilling Lakers Comeback—What Nearly Stopped Him?

The oldest player to post a triple-double in NBA history remains Karl Malone at 40 years, 127 days. James has the next 15 games on the list, but hasn’t posted one since Feb. 1 of last year which was the 122nd of his career. At 41 years, 14 days old, he will take the record if he ever accomplishes the feat again.

No one on the Lakers’ side was complaining about his performance, though. Lakers head coach JJ Redick claimed after the game the team didn’t even expect him to play:

“He’s gonna do everything he possibly can to play in his 23rd year. It’s remarkable. His competitive stamina is off the charts. We didn’t expect him to be able to play.”
