LeBron James was outstanding on Sunday night, as he led the Los Angeles Lakers to an impressive victory in a marquee matchup against cross-town rivals, the Los Angeles Clippers. It was the Purple & Gold that emerged victorious in this one, 112-103, thanks in large part to LeBron's noteworthy showing.

It wasn't just the fans that took notice of James' incredible performance against the Clippers, with fellow NBA players also sending praise to the three-time NBA champ. For Atlanta Hawks rising star Trae Young, LeBron's heroics on Sunday was enough to prove that he is indeed the greatest of all time.

That's pretty much the highest level of praise anyone could bestow, and it means a lot coming from a guy like the Hawks' first-time All-Star.

James finished the contest with 28 points on 7-of-17 shooting and 12-of-14 from the line, along with seven rebounds, nine assists, two blocks, and just two turnovers in 35 minutes of play. These are not exactly eye-popping numbers by James' high standards, but his leadership was undoubtedly on full display in this crucial matchup for his Lakers.

This big win comes at the heels of another huge victory on Saturday when LeBron and company handed the league-best Milwaukee Bucks just their 11th loss of the season. James was even more impressive in that one, logging a game-high 37 points, eight rebounds, eight assists, and three steals against MVP frontrunner Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Bucks.

James' recent form has been quite impressive, and in the mind of Hawks' point guard Young, all doubt has been erased as to LeBron's GOAT status.
