LA Lakers superstar LeBron James continued to stun critics as he showcased his spectacular form and led the Lakers to a 106-96 win against the Brooklyn Nets on Tuesday.
Putting on yet another amazing display, the 37-year old superstar contributed in every way as he helped the Lakers improve to .500 for the season again. In conversation with Chris B. Haynes of TNT after the game, LeBron James gave an insight into his current zone and form.
"The game is won between the four lines. It's not about the conversations that are going on outside. It's about putting on your hard hat and putting the work in on the floor and trying to make it happen, you know."
"You're going to have some good days, you're going to have some bad days. But if you stay even keel, you stay ten tails down, and just keep it pushing forward then you're going to give yourself an opportunity to be successful."
"I've just been in a great zone lately and, like I said the other day, I don't plan on leaving it. I just love this game."

As the Lakers find themselves at .500 on the season again, their success has to be credited to LeBron James and his effort on the court. Playing multiple positions and taking on a massive workload to support the team, James has been nothing short of phenomenal over the course of the last few games.
With an average of 30 points per game on 50.2% shooting from the field in his last 10 games, the 37-year old superstar also registers an average of 29 points, 7.7 rebounds and 6.3 assists per game this season.
Playing an active role on the defensive end as well, James managed to conserve his stamina wisely and distributed it in bursts to manufacture runs for the LA Lakers.
The Purple and Gold have been subject to a lot of scrutiny and internal strife as the team sees trade rumors surrounding Russell Westbrook and Talen Horton-Tucker gather momentum.
But the Lakers superstar seems determined to bring this team to its promised land yet again. Putting up awe-inducing performances on a nightly basis, the Lakers will hope that James continues to play at this high level.
