The Los Angeles Lakers are underperforming expectations this year and are an embarrassment to the city. Russell Westbrook needs to be traded and the organization is dumb for trading for him in the first place.

That’s what all the headlines are saying nowadays.

And while those statements aren’t necessarily false, this overwhelming negativity has overshadowed something truly remarkable this year. The greatness of LeBron James.

洛杉矶湖人队今年的表现低于预期，这让这座城市感到尴尬。威少需要被交易，球队赛季初交易他是愚蠢的。

这就是现在所有的媒体都在说的。

虽然这些说法不一定是假的，但这种压倒性的负面情绪掩盖了今年真正引人注目的事情。勒布朗·詹姆斯的伟大。

LeBron James’ greatness should not be overshadowed by the underwhelming Los Angeles Lakers

勒布朗·詹姆斯的伟大不应该被负面新闻所掩盖

In his age-37 season, LeBron James is averaging 29.1 points, 7.7 rebounds, and 6.3 assists while shooting 52.2 percent from the field and 35.2 percent from three-point range.

Let’s just take a second to break that down a bit.

他已经37岁了，本赛季勒布朗·詹姆斯的场均得29.1分、7.7个篮板和6.3次助攻，同时投篮命中率52.2%，三分范命中率35.2%。

我们花点时间来分解一下。

He’s averaging more points than Trae Young, Stephen Curry, Luka Doncic, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Devin Booker, Bradley Beal, and Karl-Anthony Towns.

A better field goal percentage than Steven Adams, Kevin Durant, Towns, Bam Adebayo, Joel Embiid, Evan Mobley, and Pascal Siakam.

A better three-point percentage than D’Angelo Russell, Chris Paul, Brandon Ingram, James Harden, Myles Turner, Jayson Tatum, and Kyle Lowry.

Not to mention, he’s taking more threes (7.9 per game) than Zach LaVine, LaMelo Ball, Booker, Harden, Tyler Herro, Seth Curry, and Beal.

他的平均得分高于特雷杨、史蒂芬库里、卢卡东契奇、扬尼斯阿德托昆博、德文布克、布拉德利比尔和安东尼唐斯。

比史蒂文亚当斯、凯文杜兰特、唐斯、巴姆阿德巴约、乔恩比德、埃文莫布利和帕斯卡尔西亚卡姆更好的投篮命中率。

比德安吉洛拉塞尔、克里斯保罗、布兰登英格拉姆、詹姆斯哈登、迈尔斯特纳、杰森塔图姆和凯尔洛瑞更好的三分命中率。

更不用说，他投了比扎克拉文、拉梅洛鲍尔、布克、哈登、泰勒希罗、塞斯库里和比尔更多的三分（场均出手7.9次）。

James is doing all this at the age of 37 years old. He would be the oldest MVP if he were to win it this year, and it’s not too crazy to imagine that he’d be in the race if the Lakers win a few more games.

This is the most points he’s averaged since the 2009-10 season, shooting the best he has from the field since the 2017-18 season, and shooting more threes than he ever has in his career.

But all that’s somehow not even the craziest part… LeBron James is averaging the second-least turnovers he has in his entire career (least since 2012-13).

这是詹姆斯在37岁时所做的一切。如果他今年能赢更多的比赛，他有机会成为年龄最大的常规赛MVP。

这是他自2009-10赛季以来最高的场均得分，自2017-18赛季以来最好的投篮命中率，职业生涯以来最好的三分表现。

但不知何故，所有这些都不是最疯狂的部分......勒布朗·詹姆斯还打出了整个职业生涯中第二小的场均失误（自2012-13年以来）

The Lakers are 5-10 when James doesn’t play this year, and 19-17 when he does. While the ladder still might not seem ideal, that record would put Los Angeles at seventh in the Western Conference.

This is greatness we’ve never seen before from someone of James’ age. With Tom Brady (probably) retiring, he’s taking over as the greatest old head in sports. He’s just playing so well that no one thinks about him as old.

Just because the Lakers aren’t playing well this year doesn’t mean James’ greatness should be ignored. He’s been nothing short of incredible this. Now it’s time to see if he can make something out of this underwhelming season.

詹姆斯今年缺阵时，湖人队的战绩为5-10，不缺阵时战绩为19-17。虽然目前似乎仍然不理想，但这也让洛杉矶在西部排名第七。

这是我们从未见过的在这个年龄的伟大表现。随着汤姆·布雷迪（可能）退休，他将成为体育界最伟大的老头。他打得很好，以至于没人认为他有这么老。

湖人队今年打得不好，并不意味着詹姆斯的伟大应该被忽视。他简直令人难以置信。现在是时候看看他能否从这个令人沮丧的赛季中有所作为了。
