Beijing time on March 6, in an NBA regular season game that ended today, the Lakers defeated the Warriors 124-116 at home, ending a 4-game losing streak, in which Lakers forward LeBron James played 38 minutes, 56 points, 10 rebounds and 3 assists in 19 of 31 shots, and the performance was perfect.
According to statistics, this is the 13th time in James' personal career to score 50 points. At the same time, according to statistically statistically media Stat Muse, James became the only player in the history of the league to have played 50 points in a single game before and after the age of 21 and after the age of 35. From 21 to 35 years old, this is a length spanning 14 years, and many players have not had 14 years in their careers, but James has been able to maintain the top level for such a long time, and the scoring ability of the scoring king level is enough to explain his greatness.
However, it is embarrassing that even if James's scoring ability is so good, he can still shoot 56 points at the age of 37, but when people talk about the historical super scorer, they always ignore him, which makes James himself very angry, and he is angry on his show two days ago.
James said on the show: "When they talk about the best scorers in history, they never mention my name. That made me angry. They never even put my name in. Perhaps it was precisely because of this disapproval that James was determined to prove himself today, and he did, and talked about the topic again after the game.
Referring to his recently aired remarks that "I've never been put into the discussion of the best scorers in history," James said, "Because that's never been my number one choice." I came into this league and understood the meaning of team basketball, the meaning of passing, and the importance of making teammates comfortable on the field, keeping everyone on the field in rhythm. That's how I was taught to be an adult, and my junior league coach always taught us to play basketball the right way, that ball players have to be despised, that kind of thinking can't get into the team, and we don't want to play that way. ”
In James's view, team combat is the best way to play basketball, but it should be noted that crazy scoring is never James's first choice, does not mean that James does not have the ability to score crazy, he has given 60+ points in a single game, is the holder of the NBA's series of oldest scoring records, not only in the regular season, even in the playoffs, in the Finals, he can also bomb 40+ points, or even 50+ points, he is also the NBA's historical scoring king (regular season + playoffs), Such a player is not a super scorer, who is it?
But why do people always ignore James when discussing super scorers? Perhaps a joke by teammate Anthony told the truth, in a post-game interview, Anthony bluntly said: "James's performance is phenomenal. He carried the whole team on his shoulders today, what else can I say? He's such a unique scorer. And when asked what he thought of James' previous statement on the show that his scoring ability was underestimated, Anthony quipped: "He can't get all the praise." ”
This sentence seems to be a joke, but in fact, it is the right solution. Looking back at James's career, he was so successful, championships, MVP, FMVP, scoring king, All-Star, all the ultimate honors pursued by a player he got, and there are all kinds of big and small honors, the best of the week, the best of the month, the king of scoring, the king of assists, these honors make people often not define him as the first scorer when they mention James, super leader or all-round warrior has become his first label.
But to some extent, people may not be willing to recognize James's top scoring ability, so that he is too perfect, too successful, and there are always some people who will be jealous of such success and unwilling to admit that there are such players, so they will choose to dilute some of James's excellent abilities. Try to think about it, looking back at james's career on the court, his leadership, organizational skills, and even defensive ability were impeccable at the peak, and the only thing people can pick is that he is not shooting erratically, just because of this, it is defined that James is not a super scorer, in fact, it is complete nonsense.
Just as many people now mock James, who is in a state of decline, it seems that they are eager to say that he is useless, not that they really think James is bad, but that they don't want James to really be so successful, as Melon said, some people just don't want to give all the praise to James, even if he really has done his best.
