LeBron James had 40 points, 7 rebounds, and 5 assists for his Los Angeles Lakers on Sunday night.

That would be a great stat line for any player but it’s even more remarkable because James is now 39 years old and in his 21st season in the league.

On Monday’s “Undisputed,” NBA analyst and former James rival Paul Pierce had a ton of great, big praise for James.

“You have to continue to appreciate his greatness,” Pierce said.

Pierce was impressed by James for a number of reasons, notably the fact that he is producing numbers like this at his age.

It’s not every day that an NBA star who is just shy of 40 is putting up these sorts of totals.

In fact, it has never really happened before.

Pierce also said that the Lakers are currently in one of their most impressive stretches of the season.

They have won six of their last seven games and have had some great performances from several stars, not just James.

Taken together, it is giving fans something to believe in and something to be excited about, right before the playoffs get started.

Of course, LA’s spot in the playoffs isn’t promised and they will have to participate in the Play-In Tournament first.

But if James is still playing like this during the Play-In, the Lakers have a very good chance of returning to the postseason.

Do they also have a chance of surprising many NBA fans and going back to the Western Conference Finals?

James’ greatness was on full display on Sunday night, but how many more times will he be able to show it off this season?
