James s 2025 season performance summary

James, who is over 40 years old, ended his 22nd season in the NBA. This season, the Lakers achieved third place in the Western Conference, but it was somewhat regrettable that they were swept out by the Timberwolves gentlemen in the first round of the playoffs. How James performed, the editor will summarize it with data.

This season's regular season, James played 70 games, averaging 34.9 minutes per game, scoring 24.4 points, 7.8 rebounds, 8.2 assists, 1 steal, 0.6 blocks, and 3.7 turnovers, with a shooting percentage of 51.3%, and a three-point shooting percentage of 37.6%. He played 5 games in the playoffs, averaging 40.6 minutes per game, scoring 25.4 points, 9 rebounds, 5.6 assists, 2 steals, 1.8 blocks, and 2.6 turnovers, with a shooting percentage of 48.9% and a three-point shooting percentage of 35.7%. It is really beyond human ability to play such data at the age of 40, and the playoff data is almost completely higher than the regular season, which shows that James has tried his best.

However, the basic data does not fully illustrate the problem, look at the advanced data. In the regular season, James averaged averaging positive and negative values ​​-0.8, ranking 154th in the league, with an efficiency value -1.3, ranking 148th in the league. Although the ranking is not low, it can be seen that as James grows older, his contribution to the team is getting smaller and smaller, and even begins to drag down the team. With a team's record of 50 wins and 32 losses, your positive and negative values ​​and efficiency values ​​are actually negative. Looking at the playoffs again, in 5 games against the Timberwolves, James lost 41 points on the court, and when he was not there, the Lakers netted 8 points, which is enough to say everything.

The editor did not mean to belittle James, but he was really defeated by the old man of time. It is time to hand over the ball and play time to truly enjoy the game, rather than be obsessed with the data or consider retiring.
