Beijing time on March 22, the Lakers 131-120 victory over the Cavaliers to avoid two consecutive away losses, after this game the Lakers returned to the ninth place in the West, LeBron James once again staged an efficient personal show, the whole game 41 minutes, 29 in 17, scored 38 points, 12 assists, 11 rebounds, 1 block and 1 steal, shooting 58.6%, he slashed 13 points, 4 assists and 3 rebounds in the last quarter to lead the team out of danger, I have to say that the 37-year-old man is still brave.
James also created a number of first-ever feats in this game, such as becoming the NBA's oldest Mr. 30+ Triple-Double.
At the age of 37, he averaged 30 points per game to lead the league as the oldest leading scorer, Jordan and Curry both led the league at 33, while James was 37. Second and third in the scoring list are Embiid and Alphabet Brother, both of whom are averaging 29.8 points per game, and these two can shake James' status as the scoring champion.
In addition, James also completed a record in history, 18 consecutive seasons to achieve an average of 25 points + per game, currently he has played 54 games to score 1618 points, the Lakers still have 10 games left, even if he does not play his average score this season will be 25 + (25.28 points), NBA history only LeBron has done 18 consecutive seasons of 25 points + per game, which is a miracle against the sky.
Magic Johnson confided after the game that congratulations to James on becoming the second-leading scorer in NBA history, with only one player left before him, and that was my former teammate Abdul-Jabbar.
After this game, James scored a total of 36985 points, and there were 37,000 points just 15 points left, becoming the youngest Mr. 3.7w in NBA history, and only 1402 points left from Abdul-Jabbar's 38387 points, at which rate James will become the all-time leading scorer next season.
The US media does not hesitate to praise, bluntly saying that LeBron James is a goat (GOAT), 37 years old can still have such a competitive state and competitive spirit, he deserves the name of GOAT.
Of course, James's main thing at present is to help the Lakers stabilize the ninth seat in the West to play the playoffs, it is best to hope that the Clippers' three-game losing streak can continue, and finally it is best to go to the eighth place in the West, if it can not be promoted to the eighth, it will have to play two play-off games, then whether Anthony Davis can return will be an X factor, 37-year-old LeBron really have to carry it alone?
