Beijing time on March 20, in an NBA regular season game that ended today, the Lakers lost to the Wizards 119-127 on the road, missing 2 consecutive wins, although unfortunately losing, but Lakers star LeBron James also created history in this game, this game James played 35 minutes, 29 shots 16, including 10 three-pointers 4 of 10 shots, free throws 3 shots 2 of 3, cut 38 points, 10 rebounds and 6 assists, James also surpassed Carl Malone, rose to the second place in the historical scoring list.
Speaking about the significance of his rise above Karl Malone to second place in the all-time scoring list, James said: "I was able to be a member of this league for so many years, and I was associated with some great celebrities, whether it was what I watched or studied or read, or inspired me to be like them, I was always overwhelmed by this kind of thing. It is my honor to be able to experience this moment on this journey, as well as the glory of my hometown and my relatives and friends, and I play for them, for my family and friends, for my hometown, and all the people who accompany me on this journey. ”
James' teammate Anthony said: "I'm in awe of LeBron's ability to keep climbing this list. I confess that when I was younger, I felt that no one could surpass Malone, no one could surpass Jabbar. As Anthony said, when a player can surpass Malone on the NBA's all-time regular season scoring list, his greatness goes without saying. But what's even more frightening is that this is not the focus of James, who is only 1440 points away from the number one Abdul-Jabbar, basically surpassing Abdul-Jabbar, and it is no suspense to become the NBA's all-time scoring champion in regular season history in the future.
It is worth mentioning that James shot 4 three-pointers in today's game, which brought his career regular season three-point shooting to 2130, ranking 11th in history, only 13 from Pierce and Lillard ( both 2143 ) 10th and 9th in history, which means that as long as James hits 13 more three-pointers, he will have a data record to reach the top 10 in history.
Generally speaking, when a player has a stat that ranks in the top 10 in NBA history, it can already prove his excellence, but the real scary thing about James is that he now has 15 statistics in the top 10 of regular season history, namely: total playing time (3rd in history); total points (2nd in history); total assists (7th in history); total turnover (1st in history); total steals (10th in history); total shots (2nd in history); total goals (3rd in history). Total iron (all-time 4th); total three-point shots (all-time 7th); total three-point iron (all-time 5th); total number of free throws (all-time 5th); total free throw hits (all-time 4th); total free throws (all-time 6th); total triple-doubles (all-time 5th); total 50+ number of points (all-time 6th).
These data and records once again prove that James is the most comprehensive all-round warrior in the history of the NBA, of course, some people may say that some of these records are not so good, such as the number of hits and turnovers, but it should be noted that a player in his career can accumulate such mistakes and batting data to such a terrible level, it is enough to show that he has always had a lot of ball rights and absolute team status, proving his strength and importance to the team.
At present, the Lakers still have 11 regular season games to play, considering that the Lakers have to compete for playoff qualification, James is likely to play all of them, and as long as he shoots 13 three-pointers in these 11 games, he can add another record of the top 10 in history, according to James's average of 2.8 three-pointers per game this season, Lakers fans may soon have to celebrate him again.
