The Lakers visited Brooklyn today, challenged the Nets away, thick eyebrows ushered in a comeback in today's game, and Durant missed today's game due to injury absence, and Irving could not play at home, so the Lakers finally won 106-96 against the Nets.
Although thick eyebrows came back today, James still performed very well, playing 34 minutes, shooting 14 of 21, including 8 of 8 three-pointers, 3 of 3 free throws, 33 points, 7 rebounds, 6 assists, 3 steals and 2 blocks.
In the 17 games that Thick Brow missed, James scored at least 25 points in each game, and each game scored the highest on the team. After scoring 33 points today, James has cut 25+ in 18 consecutive games, and if he can score at least 25 points in the next game, James will equal the record held by Bryant.
In addition, 18 consecutive 25+ games is also the second longest consecutive scoring record of James' career, second only to the 21 consecutive games in the 2007-08 season. It is worth mentioning that James won the only scoring champion of his career in the 07-08 season.
If James can continue his current efficient state, he will not only create a new Lakers all-time record, but also hope to set a new career record. It is remarkable to be able to achieve such an achievement at the end of his career at the age of 37.
Not only that, James has averaged 29 points per game so far this season, ranking second in the league, behind Durant. It is also James' fourth-highest single-season scoring record in a single season and the highest since the 09-10 season. Durant is currently in injury and if his attendance isn't high enough, James is expected to be the leading scorer this season.
The oldest leading scorer in NBA history is 35-year-old Jordan, who averaged 28.7 points per game in 1998 and finished his 10th and final leading scorer. This season, James is expected to break Jordan's record as the oldest leading scorer, and at the age of 37, he is expected to average more points per game than Jordan at the age of 35.
Even Jordan, if he hadn't retired at the age of 37, would have been difficult to play with an average of 29 points per game. James' performance on the offensive end of the season is unique in history, and no player has ever been able to play such a performance at the age of 37.
