Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James had a huge night as he went for 43 points in a blowout win over the Portland Trail Blazers. It was the seventh straight game for the 37-year-old superstar in which he scored 30 or more points.

After the game, he was asked by Allie Clifton of Spectrum SportsNet how he is able to play at such a high level. “Just getting a proper rest. I’m putting in a proper work,” James said.

“I’m always keeping my mind into the game no matter what’s going on. Even though yesterday was my birthday we had a day off, I still had my mind on what I can possibly accomplish the day after which is today versus Portland.

“Just going out and I’m in a damn good zone right now I just want to stay in it as long as possible. This is who I am and I want to continue to be that, continue to lead this team.”
