LeBron James is 41 and feeling young in Philly. He had his best game yet with the 76ers

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — LeBron James turns 42 in exactly two months and is in his record 24th NBA season. He's already played the best games of his career.James delivered his best one yet — yes, in a short sample size — with the 76ers on Friday night.James turned in a vintage performance against the NBA champion Knicks.He bullied his way past Mikal Bridges in the post for a bucket in the first half and chased down OG Anunoby for a blocked shot in the third quarter, plays that served as early hints he still has elite game when the Sixers need it most.After the Sixers let a 14-point lead slip away in the fourth, it was James — not Joel Embiid or even Tyrese Maxey — who closed out the champs.James then capped his best game of the season with the go-ahead bucket with 1:10 remaining and V.J Edgecombe buried an insurance 3-pointer for the four-point lead. James sealed the 98-93 win in an NBA Cup group game with a tip-in and nearly pulled off a triple-double with nine rebounds and eight assists.“
