Led by Nikola Jokic’s 30 points, 14 rebounds, and 13 assists, the Denver Nuggets defeated the Los Angeles Lakers in Game 4, 113-111. Jamal Murray added 25 points for the Nuggets in the victory, while LeBron James led all scorers with 40 points, 10 rebounds, and 9 assists for the Lakers. After closing out this best-of-seven series, 4-0, the Nuggets will now advance to the NBA Finals for the first time in franchise history, where they will face the winner of the Boston Celtics-Miami Heat series (Miami leads, 3-0).
Nikola Jokic (27.8 PPG, 14.5 RPG, 11.8 APG) is now the 4th player in NBA history to average a triple-double in a Conference Finals series, joining:
Jason Kidd (2001-02 vs. Celtics): 17.5 PPG, 11.2 RPG, 10.2 APG
Magic Johnson (1982-83 vs. Spurs): 17.5 PPG, 10.5 RPG, 14.0 APG
Wilt Chamberlain (1966-67 vs. Celtics): 21.6 PPG, 32.0 RPG, 10.0 APG*
*Divisional Finals
Nikola Jokic joins Wilt Chamberlain (1967) as the only players in NBA history to average a triple-double in back-to-back Playoff series.
The Nuggets 93 Playoff wins entering tonight were the most Playoff wins by a team to never make a Finals appearance in NBA history.
Nikola Jokic has now recorded his 8th triple-double of the 2023 Playoffs, passing Wilt Chamberlain (1967) for most Triple-Doubles in a single postseason.
Anthony Davis (50) is the 3rd Lakers player (5th instance) in franchise history with 50+ blocks in a single postseason, joining:
Shaquille O’Neal (2003-2004): 61 blocks
Shaquille O’Neal (1999-2000): 55 blocks
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (1982-1983): 55 blocks
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (1979-1980): 58 blocks
LeBron James (38 years, 143 days) is now the oldest player in NBA history to record 40+ points in a Playoff game, previously:
Karl Malone (36 years, 273 days): 50 points on 04/22/2000

LeBron, age 38, scored 40 pts & played all 48 minutes of the game. He has all my respect as a player
Just zero sportsmanship
I’m sure that would make his day to know
LeBron played great, but LeBron at age 38 consistently ran out of gas in this series. In game 4, scoring only 3 points in the 4th quarter (1 for 6 FG, 0 for 1 from 3, 0 offensive rebounds). LeBron finished the playoffs shooting 1 for 22 from 3-pointers during the 4th quarter.
Lakers need a great closer. Kyrie, Fox, DeRozen, Lillard, Butler, Murray are all great clutch shooters who can close games with wins.
40 points, 4.0 secs. 4-0 by denver 🤣🤣🤣
Ok so we're just gonna praise players here who can score but don't know how to win
Even at 38 yrs old with a sore foot, the man still be playing at a HIGH level.
Start 2-10 and made it to the WCF what a season
Ended 0-4 😂
@@thomasbgage what you expect they a 7th seed team going against a 1 seed dumb ass
Lol means nothing
yea but getting swept still embarassing regardless of the team.
@@thomasbgage LMAO ended 0-4
As a Nuggets' fan...Lebron had me sweating the whole game NGL. He still got it.
He’s a loser
Lebron still has a few good years left in him. Once he and AD get surgery this summer theyll be a force to reckon with next year
@@tiktokexposed898 I really don't think the Lakers as they are will ever beat this Nuggets team when fully healthy. Lebron from a few years back maybe. Sadly for him, he won't beat many top tier teams with those Lakers. Bron to the Spurs or Mavs so he can help out Wemby or Luka!!
Why would you be sweating, even if you guys lost this game you would still clearly win the series, but Lebron is still the GOAT nothing bad toward him.
@@clarkrodriguez3455 It's not gonna happen fs. I'm a Laker fan, but unless AD and Bron are completely healthy *and* they sign a *real* 5, because putting AD at 5 is limiting his ability to produce offensively, then we will struggle heavily. I can bet on Memphis, Phoenix and LAC being healthy next season and the Nuggets won't be our only issue anymore. We need to size up or get ready to lose.
LeBron, at 38, wanted it and did everything he could, to try and get it. No one will ever regret not taking him for granted.
Maybe if he did this in game 1 instead of waiting for an elimination game things would be different.......
@@chasenickles260 AD is supposed to be the man not bron at this stage of his career
@@chasenickles260 you guys are too much. If he could've done this, you will say give the ball more to Davis because he's the best player but now as they lost, you guys are saying he should've done this 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️. He gave the place of first option and leader of the team to Davis and he couldn't deliver. They got swept but he was the best player not Davis. Do you even understand that 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️. He's 38years old. Meaning he can't do this kind of performance every time. But the worst thing is that He was more consistent than Davis in this series. This Playoff just showed one thing, AD is not a leader and he's very inconsistent. For a 38 year old player to be playing more consistently than you, you should be ashamed 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️

LeBron played the whole game & dropped 40 despite being 38 yrs old. Yet no doubt he'll get slandered after this.
Well, that is the world. Even if you give your best, LBJ will never please anyone.

Why wait until the fourth game?
@@MrFrinZyhahaha. Says a guy who probably never even made it to his school basketball team ! 🤣🤣
@@MrFrinZy Bro he's 38 you can't expect him to drop 40 every game. Also his teammates is bricking them shots especially in the 2nd half. AD is supposed to be the best in the Lakers not Lebron. Lebron gave his best but the Lakers didn't
@@MrFrinZy
You need to know that he was clearly battling pain with his foot injury. Also aging has remove his capacity to attack the paint more, and he was pass from his athletic prime.
Also, we just witnessed LeBron put up 40-10-9 in an elimination game while playing nearly every second. He competitively defended Nikola Jokic. He switched on to Jamal Murray and forced a 24-second violation. He flew around on defense. He carried the offense, scoring the most ever in a playoff game by a player in at least the 18th season of their career. LeBron is past his athletic prime, but he’s still a wildly valuable player who can be a critical contributor to a contender.
Helluva season for this guy, and for the Lakers. Broke the Scoring Record, Made the Playoffs & Dethroned the defending Champs before losing to the Best team in the West in the WCF. Lakers have 1 more chance at a championship. Appreciate every moment you've gotten to witness, 12 Conference Finals, the 2nd Greatest Player ever. LeBron James.
Helluva season? Faked an injury when he thought his team was finished. When he figured out they weren't, he came back suddenly lmao
but still couldn't beat mj
No way he is better than MJ or kobe

@@phyzyc6765 Crazy how ppl don't recognize that that's always been his pattern most his career. Dude embodies that word 'frontrunner' so perfectly and ppl still be on his tail saying him as one of the best leaders 😂😂
Lebrons defense tonight was superb. Drawing 2 charges on jokic plus his deflections and steals, key stops. Then he gave the near 40 pt triple double.
Lebron choked in fourth quarter
@@KingTaylor-pl2el Yeah, but he still did more for the team then any other player before which is more important, because they would have lost by far more if he hadn't had the game he had. He did have a bad 4th though, and that's his age and all the mileage showing.
@@billj4525 AD the main reason Lakers made the western conference finals. Lebron choked vs nuggets
@@KingTaylor-pl2el No matter that he did 40/10/9 yall still going to criticize him. That's because you don't like him. What a Shame. Well to me he is the GOAT.
YES! With all the help from the refs.
LeBron is such an example for those that use age as an excuse to slack
Get out ya moms basement
Bruh shut up . Bron is 6’9 and has been an elite athlete all his life . Plus he spends millions a year just on his health . Anybody with his resources and money can do the same thing at that age . Get his 🍆 out your 🍑
@@getbox747 i think u misinterpreted what they were trynna say
@@lafayettefleur Clearly, his reply makes no sense.
@thomasoliveira7852 bro what's with these random comments
What people wont remember is he was playing on a bad ankle. What a performance.
As a lakers fan this season was more then what I expected. Obviously getting swept in the WCF isn’t fun but winning against Memphis and Golden State was fun af 😂
Without the fact that they were swept in conference finals, Lakers were great team this season and I'm super satisfied by them. Denver were simply on another level comparing with anyone else this season, I think this Denver team would even force those Golden State in 2017 in 7 games, they are that good, they have the best player in the world who had better performances this play off than both Kevin Durant and Steph in 2017 and Lakers managed to compete with them and make all 4 games close.
For a 38 year old in season twenty he can still hoop. What a career for the Kid from Akron
Sad world we live in when one of the greatest who ever played constantly gets shit on by fans and media ... Bro did as much as he could and no one else showed up but him being the face of the franchise, he's going to get almost all the blame
For him at that age is phenomenal, playing and competing in a highest level each and every game. We should not take for granted of what his done in his career. Nothing left to prove for him already in top 3 greats of all time in NBA.
How ironic is this Lebron scores 40 and he the Lakers get that 4-0 elimination 😂😂😂
Not that funny my friend.

No 4th ring either. We don't count disney fake title.
@@tylerwest3161 No he didn't lol
In Miami. That’s where lebron really got an opportunity to play with the guys who had his back. It’s such a shame that he put up such a performance and still come short in a game like this one. It’s far from over though. Farewell for the goat will be better than this.
If you really think that Lakers weren't good team this play off I don't know what to tell you, you obviously hasn't watched this play off enough. Just look at how they destoyed Memphis that were 2nd seed, than look how great thry played against Warriors who were defending champions and defeated great Sacramento team in first round. It's not about Lakers, it's about Denver that were team who had phenomenal players like Jokic and Lebron who outplayed both Lebron and Davis in this conference finals.
Тащил как мог. Огромное уважение Королю!
Love to see LeBron still playing great hope he keeps going 🙏
I have lots of respect to you, LeBron James. You carried the team despite on your age of 38 years old. He can still 40 points in this game even though they lost the game and they eliminated from this series.
🐐 respect to him for always putting on a show
Idk about you guys but once Lebron goes that will be it for all the NBA greats that I grew up watching. I'm hoping he's got a couple good years left because I'm not ready to let him go yet 😭
Hey props to denver for pulling it out. No matter if you like bron or not dropping 40 at age 38 is a impressive accomplishment. This is why he is still the goat.
I don’t know why they didn’t play Tristian Thompson the whole series
Historic?? he got Swept again...
LeBron James fez história hoje mais uma vez.
40 pontos, 9 assistências, 10 rebotes e simplesmente 48 minutos.
Salute to the performance of king LBJ always..❤.
Will dserve.. but not enough to carry the team Lakers lakeshow to the finals..
Solid Lakers here ❤.
Its so sad that his team did not deliver as much as king James would want too. Just a little push from them, they could have won.
Bron played his heart out! Wish they could've gotten the win!!!
But Jokic was literally too much. Look at these shots that he hit over AD and Lebron 🤦♂️simply nobody could compete against him and Murray this year...
Aaron Gordon looking at Bron after that prayer shot is so hilarious 😂😂😂 0:27
he like how tf
They just got swept at home and you're going on about LeBron's game. That's why they call it La-la land. The snowflakes can't stand disappointment so they pretend winning isn't the point.
38 and banged up and none of these kids could guard him, love how he is always changing his game to stay elite
Lebron at 38 is more hungrier than any of his young teammates especially Dlo😢🗑️
respect for King James! so Insane

You see game 1-3 they ran offense thur AD but game 4 offense was running thru Bron and see what he did . That game he showed us he can still be #1 option in offense
he gave it all im still Proud of Lebron James👏👏👏👏👍.
Lebron choked
@@KingTaylor-pl2elno😂😂
Oldest player to have 40 points in a playoff game he is still making history
Excellent game!! Lebron deserves MVP-Most Valiant Player of NBA history!
I can't believe Anthony Davis sat in the 4th quarter that long in ur way younger then lebron James
LeBron being 38 and dropping 40 points + carrying a team should be illegal, I don't care what nobody says, he is truly the greatest player of all time.
I concur
Let me ask you....habe you stop to think how AD is priceless, no aspiration to be an MVP or " The Man "
Just there getting paid for what!
Sick of all of Lebron teammates who put in lackluster performance !
😂😂😂 LBJ greatest? Not even in Top10. So many great players were back in the days. That GOAT nonsense is just media talkin' stupid things.

@@Infamouskillah I’ve never in my life play a minute in a NBA game, so I can’t really say what he should do and what he shouldn’t. But what I can say is flopping is apart of the game. Always has been.
Historic loss and lost 0-4.
LeBenchDlo
AD was supposed to be the successor but so far he doesn't deliver. It still came down to the 38 Yr old which people have ridiculous expectations. No other greats were producing these numbers at this age. AD right now still has value, trade him and get another star and a decent defending big.
He gave 40 like Dillion Brooks said and he lost. That is his what he gets for him and Klutch Sports trying to destroy Dillion's Career because he told the Truth; he is old. Noew he is hurt and got to have surgery. LeBron you lost.
also lebron james team historic 0-4
That delonte curse is still on lesweep
Lebron's HISTORIC 3rd time getting swept in the postseason.
Historic effort shitting on your favorite team and player?
All this series told me was if lebron was 34 this series would be over in 5
Foi mágico está noite para LeBron James, só faltou a Victória dos Lakers.
No matter if you like LeBron more or not, I think many wanted the Lakers win this series cos of all he means for sport, showing it again in a new game.
It will be a very sad thing not see him in the final but I'm sure the most of us have enjoyed a lot what he has done during the whole season.
Honestly, it wouldn't be sad for me. I've seen him in million finals soo he is literally boring anymore🤣🤣 if he plays in one more final and wins championship with Finals MVP than he is the greatest basketball player who ever lived.
It was a historical sweeping 😂
Gordon plays good, energetic position D with amazing athleticism. At this level it matters, but good O trumps good D.
Man he played well on one foot and the retirement talk is good...he played alot alot of basketball...playing just for sake of game in no more his passion ...if he doesn't have championship caliber team he will not comeback next year and Lakers should trade ad now ...ad is not the guy for franchise
super impressive at his age!

We tried but Denver was just a much better team overall. I dont know if hell still be averaging 20pts next season but no matter, still supporting him till his last season.
It didn’t help with poor officiating in games 1 and 4. The nuggets will struggle vs the heat for sure.
Age 38 on a bad ankle and he’s carrying 😅. My guy wasn’t even a 100% . This is actually crazy to witness.
Damn, can y'all talk about Denver!!!!!
Can’t you see the title? It says LEBRON historic 40 points… there are plenty Videos on RUclips. You choose what you wanna read and watch. Go search Jokic or Denver Nuggets highlights and talk about them there.. what ya doing here 🤦🏼♂️
While this was happening. Never occurred to me he played the ENTIRE first half without sitting.
Very nice ☺👍
THE KING LEBRON JAMES FOREVER EVER..
I am waiting for the RDCworld video XD
Lebron was the only player for the lakers that was willing to do anything possible to win got the heart of a champion 💯💔
It's mainly lebron fault Lakers got swept
Great game bron thanks for the 40. Laker nation will be back. Idk why bron doesn’t go to the post more often in the regular season his post game is good. Kobe at the end of his career stayed on the post that was his whole game. Bron would average 30 if he went full post game.
I think the injury affected him a bit during the playoffs cause he was playing better before it happened
Yeah how much did kobe average playing post up? 17 points...dont teach the king how to play, he averaged 29 point with 8 rebounds n 7 assists
Man, if I was a competitive basketball player I would absolutely hate this kind of video after losing.
LeBron should stay still playing he is still great and entertaining us all
LeBron Please stay

Dude they lost.
Once again proves that the attacking Bron is better than the passing bron
The most unstoppable thing lebron has is his size and speed ratio, he is either too fast or too strong for the matchup no matter who you throw at him (except maybe Zion). And when he started playing passive 10 years ago, he is basically giving the defense an out whenever he pass up his own shot
And he did that again in the second half in this game again.
Maybe you can say that he is tired but he knows better than they need him in the second half more than the first half, should have saved some of that energy
