Basketball: “A lot of points”: LeBron James cracks 50,000 marks

The indoor spokesman for the local Lakers illustrated how magical, how historical this moment was in Los Angeles. “Ladies and gentlemen, we all have just witnessed something historical,” he called to his microphone, while the basketball fans raised themselves in honor of their king and applauded vigorously. Lebron Raymones James Senior, for many just the “King”, is the first player in the history of the NBA to score at least 50,000 points.

“I mean, that’s a lot of points,” said the 40-year-old superstar after the Lakers’ 136:115 win against the New Orleans Pelicans and rubbed the beard in astonishment. “Of course, the first thing that comes to mind is where I come from. I started the game as a small child, I loved the sport and hoped that one day I can play at the highest level. I succeeded and I really enjoyed my career. So it’s definitely an honor. It’s pretty cool to see that.”

Before the game he was 49,999 points

With 49,999 points in games of the main round and the playoffs, James went into the duel with the Pelicans. Already with his first basket in the game he broke through the historical brand. When he converted a threesome in the first quarter of the first quarter of the arena in Downtown Los Angeles, most of the spectators got up and cheered James loudly.

As a result, James showed a strong performance and posted a total of 34 points, 8 rebounds and 6 templates. He got the historic first three of Luka Doncic, who, after his sensational change from the Dallas Mavericks, finds it better and better at the Lakers and even came to 30 points, 8 rebounds and 15 assists.

Praise from Doncic: “Maybe he will come to 70,000”

“It is astonishing to see him play at this age,” said the 26 -year -old Slovenian. “It’s just incredible, these 50,000 points. I can’t explain how crazy it is. Maybe he will get 70,000. You can never know.” However, James would have to hang up for a few years until this brand, and a total of 50,033 points is now in his NBA career.

Durant overtakes Nowitzki in an eternal leaderboard

No other player in the history of the NBA has so far only reached 45,000 points in main round and playoffs. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar with a total of 44,149 points is in second place in the eternal leaderboard.

Best even active professional to James is Kevin Durant, who, due to his 34 points at 119:11 of the Phoenix Suns against the Los Angeles Clippers, passed Dirk Nowitzki and now took sixth place. Nowitzki came to 35,223 points in his career, Durant is now at 35,225.
