James reacts to 20/20 game

After the game, the 20-year NBA veteran said it was cool to record that stat line.

"I've done some pretty cool things in my career," James said. "I've never had 20 and 20 before. So, that's pretty cool, I guess," he said, via ESPN.

That stat line is his first after 1,693 regular-season, play-in, and postseason games. He is now the oldest player to achieve the statistical mark since Wilt Chamberlain did it at 36 in 1973.
