In the wake of LeBron James’ season-high 40-point game versus the Pelicans, former NBA champion Antoine Walker talked about what this performance means.

According to Walker, James just proved again he is the best player. “Every now and then LeBron wants to show the world: I’m still the best player in world right now. Last night was one of those cases where he showed that,” he said.

This season, the King is averaging 25.5 points, 7.7 rebounds and 10.6 assists per game.
