LeBron James is breaking barriers when it comes to his production. Being 37 has not stopped the King from being at the top of his game for the Los Angeles Lakers. While most players play much lesser minutes, James is the leader on the team. He is guiding the Lake show through every game, all while proving his versatility.

Recently, he started at center for the first time in his career. Sacramento Kings coach, Alvin Gentry spoke about James’ versatility and had great praise for him.

James almost appears superhuman at times. There aren’t many athletes who are able to produce the way he does at such an age. After battling injuries at the beginning of the season, LeBron has returned with a bang. Going all out for the Lakers, he has even started at the big man spot in the absence of Anthony Davis and he has delivered far beyond expectations.

However, it seems Gentry isn’t surprised at all to see LeBron thrive at the 5.

He said: “It doesn’t matter if he’s at 5,4,3,2,1, 6, 7 or 8.”
