The LA Lakers registered their eighth win of the season on Sunday, thanks to LeBron James' dominating performance against the Houston Rockets. The 38-year-old star starred with 37 points in 39 minutes as the Lakers won 105-104.

StatMuse posted the uncanny parallel and sequencing number of 37 points by a 38-year-old in 39 minutes, drawing reactions from LeBron James fans. One fan has crowned James the greatest to grace the sport, tweeting:

"THE GREATEST MAN TO EVER TOUCH A BASKETBALL"

James is rivaled by Kevin Durant as the most active contemporary, but one fan posted that James is way above KD.

Stirring up the basketball GOAT debate, Politician for Sport posted Michael Jordan scoring 51 points at the same age as James is in right now.

Of course, a polarizing figure like LeBron James has his haters even with his commendable performance.
