It’s round two! This time, LeBron James grabbed the opportunity with both hands. Two years ago, the 40-year-old surpassed Kareem Abdul Jabbar to become all-time scoring leader, and seven years ago, he surpassed Michael Jordan for playoff scoring leader. Tonight, he ran far away to a place where any NBA player would get scared to even think of. A lonely place at the top of the mountain. HISTORY! He became the first player to cross the 50,000-point mark in the league.
The LA crowd gets another chance to go through the hype all over again. In the last game against the Clippers, LeBron James needed just 18 points to reach the historic milestone. With 7-odd minutes left in the game, he needed just one point. Guess what? Bron left everyone in the Crypto.com Arena on the edge of the seat only to leave them in a cliffhanger.
The Akron Hammer couldn’t drop the golden basket. Remember the fadeaway from the paint to surpass Abdul-Jabbar, the LA crowd expected something similar. But the superstar made them wait a little longer.
Tonight, taking on the Pelicans, James teased the fans for a bit and took his first shot at the 8-minute mark. A classic pass from his new teammate, Luka Doncic, and he buried a three-pointer from the wing. The superstar has 50,002 points. “22 seasons, 40 years of age, LeBron James 50,002 points. And he is not done. That’s the good part about it all,” exclaimed the announcer!
