LeBron James showcased his legendary skills as he led the Los Angeles Lakers to a dominant victory over the New Orleans Pelicans in the NBA In-Season Tournament semifinals. James' performance propelled the Lakers to the championship game against the Indiana Pacers in Las Vegas, scheduled for Saturday.

In the semifinal game, James was on a mission from the beginning, displaying ferocity and precision reminiscent of his peak performances throughout his 21-year career. Despite it being just December, James played with the intensity of a playoff game, leading the Lakers to a resounding 133-89 win over the Pelicans.

James finished the game with an impressive stat line, recording an efficient 30 points, eight assists, and five rebounds on 9-of-12 shooting. What made this performance even more remarkable was that James achieved these numbers in just 23 minutes of play, as the Lakers established a commanding lead early in the game.

At nearly 39 years old, James made history once again, becoming the first player in NBA history to achieve at least 30 points, five assists, and five rebounds in 23 minutes or fewer. Moreover, James did not commit a single turnover and registered a game-high plus-36 in the box score.

This incredible performance adds to James' long list of accolades. Just last week, he surpassed Kareem Abdul-Jabbar as the NBA's all-time minutes leader, and last season he overtook Abdul-Jabbar for first place on the all-time points list. Now, in his 21st season, James continues to make history and find new ways to excel on the court.

Despite his impressive individual achievements, James remains focused on the team's improvement and their pursuit of success. In a post-game interview, he acknowledged the significance of the In-Season Tournament but emphasized the team's goal of getting better with every game, possession, and quarter.

The Los Angeles Lakers will now face the Indiana Pacers in the inaugural NBA In-Season Tournament championship game on Saturday. It promises to be a thrilling contest as James and his teammates aim to lift the NBA Cup and secure another milestone in their storied franchise history.

With James leading the charge, Lakers fans are eagerly anticipating the championship clash and looking forward to witnessing more iconic moments from one of the greatest players the game has ever seen.
