In a remarkable display of his enduring prowess, LeBron James has achieved his fourth consecutive triple-double, leading the Los Angeles Lakers to a 120-115 victory over the San Antonio Spurs. Despite this impressive feat, James was surprisingly critical of his performance.

On Friday night, James finished with 15 points, 16 rebounds, and 12 assists, marking the longest streak of consecutive triple-doubles in his 22-year NBA career. This achievement ties him with the Lakers franchise record set by Russell Westbrook and Magic Johnson[1][3][4].

However, James expressed dissatisfaction with his game, stating he "played like s---" and was "not in a good rhythm." He noted that he took a season-low 12 shot attempts and committed a season-high seven turnovers. "The best thing about my game is I can have [no] rhythm offensively and still have an impact on the game," James said, highlighting his ability to influence the game beyond scoring[1][3].

This streak is part of a larger trend of dominance for James this season. He has now recorded 117 career triple-doubles, the fifth most in NBA history. James' current performance is all the more remarkable given his age; at 39, he continues to defy expectations and maintain an incredibly high level of play[1][3][5].

James' impact on the game extends to his teammates. His presence has elevated the performance of players like Anthony Davis, who led the Lakers with 40 points and 12 rebounds against the Spurs. Coach JJ Redick praised James for setting an example with his physical play on the boards and his ability to implement the team's offensive system effectively[1][4].

This streak of four consecutive triple-doubles has coincided with four straight wins for the Lakers, including victories over the Philadelphia 76ers, Toronto Raptors, and Memphis Grizzlies. James' stats during this streak are impressive: 21 points, 13 assists, and 12 rebounds against the 76ers; 19 points, 16 assists, and 12 rebounds against the Raptors; 35 points, 14 assists, and 12 rebounds against the Grizzlies; and finally, 15 points, 16 rebounds, and 12 assists against the Spurs[3][5].

James' ability to adapt and his dedication to the game have made him a once-in-a-generation player. As he continues to break records and push the boundaries of what is possible at his age, his NBA legacy only grows. Despite his self-criticism, James' performance is a testament to his enduring greatness and his continued influence on the game.
