Happy Birthday Lebron You deserve it my man Go Lakers

[oghektor]

I’m actually laughing at how good this man is 😭😂😂unreal

[Kobek_]

He lived up to the hype and continues to dominate the league, even at age 38.

[milesharper]

For some reason this makes me sad because i feel like we may be getting some of the last big moments from him. Man do i hope he ends up being able to go out with a bang and not a whimper. one more ring would be legendary.

LeBron is a Living Basketball God. Nobody has reached these heights and maintained the Legend for this long. They usually become solidified after their careers are over, as we watch back the great performances of their youth. LBJ is still stacking historic games that give us the same feeling that he gave us when he was 18 to 25 years-old.

How he came in is how he is going out, which is something that has never happened in this league. There’s a 13 year-old kid watching this man in Year 20 feeling how I felt when I saw him around the same age 15 years ago, and that is truly remarkable. 1-of-1. 🐐

He continues to improve and adds new offensive moves to his game. A great game on his birthday.

Y’all can’t be hating this man till the day he leaves the court for good. Just enjoy what we get to watch you don’t see this out of someone often👑

[Jeff_x]

The player with the greatest longevity of all time proves once again his greatness doesn’t have an age limit

[SuperCaveman]

This game will be remembered for years to come. Legendary wish I could of been there.

[antinapay]

4:15. Damn this made me cry. This is his 20th season, and he goes up against the whole Hawks team

[kawaiiafangirl]

Instead of appreciating one of the best ever to play at a high level in his 20th season, people would rather hate on him.

[ildivincodn]

This guy turned THIRTY EIGHT today. And he is still on top. He must be from another planet! We are all witnessing his greatness for 20 years and we all appreciate that!

LeBron is resetting the bar when it comes to greatness

[marvinstheman]

There's never been anyone close to being this good night in and night out at this age. LeBron is unbelievable. Really hope the Lakers can make some adds down the stretch so we don't waste perhaps his last bit of greatness.

[sentrytrader]

In one game he's shooting 3's like a point gaurd, getting to the rim like a forward and defending like a big man. What an incredible player. He is whatever the team needs him to be at any given moment

[alancorp]

Very few players have scored 30 points at this point in their careers but this man is nearly averaging 30 🔥

[DWJ]

doing this at 38 years old is insane 🤯

[Benvillle]

This has to be the greatest performance by a 38 year in NBA history
