The other record that LeBron James is looking for
Forward LeBron James added 28 points in the Los Angeles Lakers’ 129-123 victory over the New York Knicks, with 89 remaining to surpass Kareem Abdul Jabbar’s career record of 38,387 as the leading scorer in NBA history.
LeBron James, with 28 points, and Anthony Davis, with 27, were once again an unstoppable duo last night to guide the Los Angeles Lakers (24-28) to victory over the Knicks (27-25) in overtime after drawing at 120 .
James he completed a “triple-double” with 28 points (9-17 in doubles, 2-8 in triples and 4-7 in free throws), with 11 assists and 10 rebounds. The forward had not played last Monday against the Brooklyn Nets due to a sore left ankle.
lebron James now needs 89 points to surpass Abdul-Jabbar’s record and is averaging 30.2 points; 8.5 rebounds and 7.1 assists per game this season, so keep up and if he doesn’t get hurt, he can break the mark in three or four more games.
“It’s just a matter of time before we beat the record. It’s not getting heavier because I’m going to do it. I’m not going anywhere, I’m going to be in this league for at least a few more years, so I’m going to do it. It’s not heavy at all I just go out and play.”said the star at the end of the game after his enormous task.
However, LeBron was proud of his 11 assists as he was able to pass Steve Nash and Mark Jackson to move to fourth in the NBA all-time rankings for career assists.
For the Knicks, point guard Jalen Brunson had 37 points and Julius Randle 23 points and 12 recoveries.
