In 2012, during the playoffs against the Boston Celtics, LeBron James had one of his all-time best moments after leaving the Cleveland Cavaliers to join a real Miami Heat squad.

An NBA finals-clinching 45-point drubbing of the Celtics. In the same year, James was named series MVP in a Heat-Thunder series that led to the team’s championship. Although Rajon Rondo had a stellar season overall, his 45-point effort against the Celtics will live on in his memory.

As a member of those Celtics, Rondo went on to play with LeBron James and help the Cavaliers win the 2020 title in a bubble game. The original Boston Celtics, on which he played, were humiliated by James before that ever happened. Rondo stated: “We had a strong team that year” when speaking on the Boston Celtics’ official channel. The me𝚗 he was riding shotgun with were competent, but not up to the task. After he regrouped, made a wise choice, and relocated to Miami, he ultimately caused our breakup. At the time he returned to the Garden and scored 46? The sale was final. They were ours. Then he entered the Garden, and nobody could stop him.

And LeBron James isn’t slowing down at 39 years old!

The most bizarre aspect of it all is that LeBron James, who is almost 39 years old, is still putting up monster numbers with the Los Angeles Lakers. He was in his prime at the time, just approaching his 29th birthday. There appears to be no slowdown in sight for James, who, over eleven years after that momentous moment, continues to look like he can blitz the NBA at any given moment. Watch the Los Angeles Lakers take on the Charlotte Hornets at Crypto.com Arena later today to catch LeBron James’ performance.
