Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James has been named NBA Western Conference Player of the Week for games played Monday, April 6, through Sunday, April 12. The honor marks the league-record 70th weekly award of his career and his ninth since joining the Lakers.

In three victories over Golden State, Phoenix and Utah, the 41-year-old averaged 24.0 points on 56.3% shooting from the field and 50.0% from 3-point range, to go with 6.0 rebounds, 9.7 assists and 3.0 steals in 27.0 minutes

James opened the week with 26 points (11-17 FG, 3-5 3FG), eight rebounds, 11 assists, two steals and one block in a 119-103 road victory at Golden State April 9. The following evening, he recorded 28 points (10-16 FG, 2-2 3FG, 6-9 FT), six rebounds, 12 assists and four steals at home versus Phoenix. Against the Suns, James became just the fourth player in NBA history to reach 12,000 career regular season assists. He closed the week with 18 points (6-15 FG, 6-7 FT), four rebounds, six assists and three steals in a 131-107 home victory over Utah April 12.

LeBron is the oldest NBA player to win Conference Player of the Week. He broke the record at age 40 in February 2025 that was set by LeBron James.

You should clarify you mean Lebron James Sr. to avoid confusion.

I love how almost anytime LeBron breaks a record/does something of note, he’s beating his own record.

I’m convinced he could still get a triple double at age 50. I remember like 20 years ago, I thought he’d start slowing down in the mid/late 2010s and retiring by 2020

fuzzythinker | Nuggets

Possible, but I would bet o/w. 50 is really pushing it. It is 9 more years, which is a lot, especially if he retires, at which point he won’t be able to just be back at perform. I’d say he’ll have 3+ more triple doubles and a possible Player of the Week next year.

I love how people try to accuse this guy as stat padding. He literally could have played more in all those games and put up 40 pieces in probably all of them

He is 1 of 1

My favorite is the people saying he’s a stat padder then saying he also load manages, I don’t see how you can be both.

Don’t forget Skip Bayless’ arguments:

If Bron’s team is trailing: HE SHOULD’VE PUT AWAY THE OTHER TEAM IN THE FIRST THREE QUARTERS

If Brn’s team is leading: HE IS FRONTRUNNING AND STAT PADDING

He may not be the same 28-29 year old dpoy candidate but he still playing great defense especially over these last 4 games. Hes been locked in on both sides of the ball at 41 years of age. This man might be the goat

wallysmith127 | Lakers

I still maintain it’s harder to win 4 with three different franchises than 6 with the same franchise + HOF coach + HOF running mate (who was a top 3 MVP candidate the season MJ was gone).

If he never wins another one I don’t think “might be” is necessary

Pleasestoplyiiing

I maintain it’s harder to win when you only have the best team ³⁄₁₀ of your Finals appearances than ⁶⁄₆. Or when you have to go against Bullshit like the KD Warriors.

KD Warriors are a result of LeBron being that good. When you go against the greatest team of all time twice in a row that went super Saiyen with KD for two more years and still put up among the craziest finals performances, I feel like only measuring a legacy by the number of titles is slightly short sighted.

No need to disrespect Jordan’s performances nor the teams he went against, he came in clutch in many crazy playoffs performances during those 6 runs and still had great players on the opposing team. I just don’t think Jordan faced a team as good as the warriors in the finals, maybe not even those two 2013 and 2014 Spurs

If the average NBA season is 23 weeks long, and Lebron has played for 23 seasons, he has played for approx 529 weeks. That means he has one the weekly award 13 percent of the weeks he has played. That isn’t including weeks he was injured etc so the real percentage has to be higher. For such a long career, that is incredible.
