It became quite clear this year that we are well into the back nine of LeBron James’s NBA career—not only because he’s turning 41 years old in just a few days or that he’s in the 22nd year of his career and is now in the second year of playing on the same team as his son. This offseason, James got really into golf, and he is letting everyone know about it.
Christmas Day was a rough one for James’s Lakers on the court, as they were blasted by the Rockets 119–96. James scored 18 points with five assists and a pair of rebounds, but L.A. did not fare well during his minutes, as he posted a game-worst -33 plus-minus. It was the third straight blowout loss for the Lakers, and coach JJ Redick is fed up, calling out the team’s lack of “effort and execution” and accusing the team of not caring enough at the moment.
