The Los Angeles star is just 89 points away from becoming the NBA’s all-time leading scorer
Leading the Lakers against the Knicks at Maddison, LeBron became the fourth top assister
Los Angeles Lakers power forward, Lebron Jamesis only 89 points away from being the leading scorer in NBA history. But that’s not all: leading the franchise against the Knicks at Maddison, he became the fourth highest assist in the league.
The one from Akron, who has already written his name in golden letters, acknowledged that he is proud to be in the dimension of the best in history: “I’m happy to be joined by some of the best, of course”. After his triple-double of 28 points, 10 rebounds and 11 assists against the Knicks, LeBron only needs 89 more points to surpass Abdul-Jabbar’s legendary mark (38,387 points).
Considering that he is averaging 30.2 points per game and that the Lakers have two other away games this week (Indiana Pacers and New Orleans Pelicans), the record could fall next Tuesday against the Oklahoma City or on Thursday against the Milwaukee Bucks, both games at home.
Also, LeBron beat Steve Nash and Mark Jackson on Tuesday to become the fourth highest assist in history. Ahead of him, he only has three legendary point guards: John Stockton, Jason Kidd and Chris Paul. “It’s incredible. It’s what I love to do: get my teammates involved, try to put the ball on time and in the exact spot for my teammates.”indicated.
