LeBron James was named the Western Conference Player of the Month for February at age 40, making him the oldest NBA player in history to win the monthly award. He surpassed Karl Malone, who earned the honor at age 37 in November 2000.

James secures his NBA-record 41st Player of the Month honor, and his first since February 2020. As a surprise to no one, James continues to be dominant and stay relevant on the court even this late in his career.
