LeBron James' 'Masterful' Dominance Has NBA Twitter Hyped as Lakers Beat Hawks

The Los Angeles Lakers beat the Atlanta Hawks 130-121 on Friday thanks to a 47 point, 10 rebound, and nine assist performance by King James.

Despite starting the game, the 20-year NBA veteran made 18 of 27 field goals and 4 of 6 three-pointers. Half of his team's 32 fourth quarter points came from him.

James was a human highlight reel.

Only 11 NBA players have played at least 20 NBA seasons. James played three games in four nights.

James posted the best individual performance of the season from any NBA player. Kevin Durant, Magic Johnson, and Pau Gasol all gave praise after the game.

Incredible.

A stretch of seven of nine games in L.A. will be played by James and the Lakers before they return home.
