On March 28, Beijing time, the Lakers played against the Pelicans, James unlocked a new achievement, he became the second player in NBA history to reach the 37,000-point milestone. At the same time, he became the youngest Mr. 37,000 points, the fastest player to reach 37,000 points, and he was also the first player in history to have at least 37,000 points + 10,000 rebounds + 10,000 assists.
Before this game, James was just 15 points away from 37,000 points, and against the Pelicans, he was full of fire in the first quarter, leading the team to a 12-0 start and scoring 10 of them. James scored a total of 11 points in the first quarter, twisting to his left ankle in the second quarter but remaining on the court after tying his shoes tightly to successfully unlock the 37,000-point milestone.
Not long ago, James surpassed Carl Malone and rose to second-highest career scoring total, getting closer to the top of the table. If nothing else, with James' current scoring efficiency, he will surpass Abdul-Jabbar next season to become the all-time scoring champion and eventually unlock the great milestone of 40,000 points + 10,000 rebounds + 10,000 assists.
Us media StatMuse has said that James is the only member of the 27000+7000+7000 club, and continued all the way to the only member of 36000+10000+10000, and now, he has joined the new club 37000+10000+10000, and is still the only member. In the 11 major clubs, james is the only one. The achievements of the ancients have never been achieved before, and I am afraid that it is difficult to have come after them.
The US media switchpoints posted the data comparison between the 37-year-old James and the 28-year-old Jordan, the 28-year-old Jordan averaged 30.1 points, 6.1 assists and 0.9 blocks per game, shooting 51.9%, while the 37-year-old James averaged 30 points, 6.3 assists and 1.1 blocks per game, shooting 52.3%!
There is no doubt that the 37-year-old James is still playing at the peak level, but the Lakers have performed badly this season and are still working hard for a playoff spot. While James hasn't talked about retirement yet, there's not much time left for the 37-year-old superstar to rush to the top. The Lakers are likely to continue to adjust their lineups this summer and strive to improve their competitiveness.
