Are we sure that LeBron James is closer to 40 than he is to 20? The ageless Los Angeles Lakers superstar put up another age-defying performance Tuesday night when he led the Purple & Gold to a thrilling 135-133 win in Salt Lake City over the Utah Jazz.

LeBron James and the Lakers squandered a double-digit lead in the fourth quarter, with the Jazz erasing a 10-point deficit in the final two and half minutes of regulation. The four-time league MVP had a great chance to put the Jazz away in the final seconds of the final period but he missed a lay-up attempt. LeBron James would make up for that miss, however, as he carried the Lakers on his back in overtime.

James sealed the deal for the Lakers with a go-ahead layup with under 30 seconds remaining in extra time, which Utah was not able to respond to.

Twitter then went nuclear following LeBron James' heroics against the Jazz.
