115-110 in Game 4 sent Oklahoma City past the Lakers and into the Western Conference Finals, after a second-round sweep on Monday.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander said LeBron James, 41, remained the top focus of OKC's scouting report all series and called his longevity and greatness something the NBA may not see again.
23.2 points, 7.3 assists and 6.7 rebounds in 10 playoff games underscored James' postseason surge, with Luka Doncic out for the entire run and Austin Reaves missing the first four games of Round 1.
20.9 points on 51.5% shooting in his 23rd season kept James productive into the offseason, where he is set to become a free agent after the Lakers' exit.
Which team offers LeBron the best final chapter: a title contender, a sentimental homecoming, or the familiar Lakers?
Should the Lakers risk their future with Luka Dončić to give a 41-year-old LeBron James one last max contract?
Is LeBron's historic longevity due to his meticulous $1.5M routine or simply a matter of unparalleled natural talent?
