The body begins to signal?

At 36, in his 18th season in the NBA, LeBron James is still an extraordinary phenomenon, even in the physical sense.
But is age starting to affect his ability?
After tonight's loss (Thursday-Friday) 107: 92 to Detroit, one of the weakest teams in the league, the United States is already wondering about this question.
It was the Lakers' second straight loss, and she had quite a few mitigating circumstances: She came to tackle after six straight away games in eight days, less than 24 hours after a close loss to Philadelphia, and without Anthony Davis not a partner due to a minor injury.
LeBron looked fresh and focused early in the game, scoring his first seven shots from the field, finishing the first quarter with 15 points, but from there it faded.
In the second half he added just two points to his tally, finishing with 22 points, 10 assists and 7 rebounds.
The Lakers have scored just 34 points in the last two quarters - the least in the half since LeBron joined the team in 2018.

Whoever was waiting for him in the corner, of course, was his regular critic, Fox Network commentator Skip Bales.
"LeBron scored his first seven shots, but went on to 1-of-12, not scoring in the final quarter, and his Lakers suffered a 2:19 run from Detroit. So true, the Lakers played back-to-back away, but the team on the other side is Detroit, "The one that is in a 14: 4 balance and was defeated by Cleveland yesterday. That's what you call an MVP?", He wrote.
Former ESPN actor and commentator Kendrick Perkins also tweeted that "the Lakers look awful and awful," and Magic Johnson added, "The Lakers looked physically and mentally tired. It was their first bad game of the season."
But LeBron, who played despite being in doubt until hours before the opening whistle, is convinced these are not age marks.
"I do not get tired, really do not ... do not even think about it," he said at the end.
"I rest when I need to, sleep when I need to. I have a lot of energy, and I really do not feel exhausted. If we have a game, I am always ready for it."

LeBron argues that the Lakers' mitigating circumstances in tonight's game cannot be an excuse for a weak ability.
"No matter what situation we get into, we have to do the job. We have to get better all the time, you can not think how many games we played in a row, or how exhausting the travel and flights were, or whatever. Every team goes through the same journeys during the season, and we "Professionals. We have to keep hunger and freshness in every game, for 48 minutes or so. Obviously in the last two games, we did not do that."
LeBron is sure this is a mental problem, and the Lakers provide another explanation.
"We're a whole new team," Kyle Kozma said.
"It takes time to connect, especially at a time like this, when you can't practice. We get better from game to game, we learn from game to game, we understand that the regular season is in most cases just preparation for the playoffs. We take every game and learn something from it.
