LeBron James loves messing with that nemesis named Father Time. Just watch him. Any time he’s asked about his longevity or how he’s rewriting the possibilities for someone his age, his eyes will dance in anticipation. His mouth will curl into a confident grin. He’ll eagerly await the end of the question, just so that he can windmill dunk on his old rival.
“I’m in a battle with him,” James said, ahead of his 41st birthday, referring to Father Time. “Um, and I would like to say that I’m kicking his (rear end) on the back nine.”
LeBron’s winning, for sure. He’s up big, and at this point in his career, he’s even running up the score. Did you see that ‘80s baby in the first round of the playoffs, crippling some marble statue that looked awfully similar to Kevin Durant, and throwing down a reverse dunk? That man is for-ty ONE!
