The Los Angeles Lakers are hosting the Golden State Warriors on Thursday night for one of the most highly-anticipated divisional matchups possible. Superstars Steph Curry and LeBron James faced off in the NBA Finals for four consecutive years between 2015-18, so it is always a show when they meet for a rematch.

Since LeBron James is still playing at an All-NBA level at 40 years of age, he is bound to keep setting records and join elite company. The hoops legend added another milestone in the Los Angeles Lakers’ 120-112 victory over the Golden State Warriors on Thursday.

The 40-year-old James became the oldest player to score 40 points in an NBA game Thursday night, putting up a season-high 42 in the Los Angeles Lakers' 120-112 victory over the Golden State Warriors. James passed the record held by Michael Jordan, his idol and the only other NBA player to score 40 after his 40th birthday.
