The Lakers' journey to the West ended with the Nuggets, and James' 20th season trip ended. While the loss was undoubtedly a disappointment for the Lakers and fans, James' playoff scoring and assists numbers were a surprise. Here I also hope that he will not retire and continue to play when he is in such good shape.
NBA legend center O'Neal posted James' stats on social media, with playoff total points and assists, first and second all-time, respectively.
The data shows that James scored a total of 8,023 points in the playoffs, becoming the highest scoring player in history. This result also reflects James's outstanding performance in the playoffs, not only as a great penalty taker, but also as a leader and decision-maker on the court.
In addition to scoring, James is also very good at assists. According to statistics, he has a total of 2,023 assists in the playoffs, second only to legendary star Magic Johnson (2,346 assists). This achievement is not only a testament to James' organizational ability and awareness, but also to his strength and influence as an all-around player.
While this season's playoff journey is over, James' performances and stats have added a valuable asset to his career.
After the playoffs, there were rumors that James would retire, but there were also media outlets that he wanted to play alongside his son, so he would continue to play, and he himself has not announced this difficult decision.
I believe that he will continue to work hard in future games to bring more joy and honor to the team and fans.
