Beijing time on January 07! Today, data expert Justin Kubatko tweeted the 15th anniversary of a historical scoring record. On this day in 2007, Cavaliers forward LeBron James scored 19 points in the Cavaliers' 99-91 win over the Nets.
It was this game that kicked off James' record for the longest single-double-double in 1,067 consecutive games (still continuing), surpassing the second-ever record held by Michael Jordan by 201 games.
It is worth mentioning that the media Spectrum SportsNet reported that James has accumulated 327 points in the last 10 games, which is the highest scoring record for a player over 35 years old in NBA history in 10 consecutive games. Also in second place was Michael Jordan's 317 points.
James, who is already 37 years old this season, still plays at the MVP level, and so far James has averaged 28.6 points, 7.4 rebounds, 6.5 assists, 1.7 steals and 1.1 blocks in 36.9 minutes per game, including second in points, but also third in the league. In the last 10 games, James has scored more than 30+ in 8 games, and has had 7 consecutive uninterrupted 30+ performances.
At this age, James, maybe every game we watch, he has the potential to set a new record, or break an old record. There is no doubt about the greatness of James' career.
