In an important game related to the playoff rankings, LeBron James once again showed unparalleled value, scoring 37 points, 9 rebounds and 5 assists on 13 of 20 shots from the field, including a breakthrough and two free throws in the final countdown. He intercepted a fast break dunk and scored 6 points alone, leading the Lakers to get rid of the Grizzlies.
In this game, James made 8 of 11 free throws, bringing his career total to 8,384 free throws, surpassing Kobe Bryant and ranking third in history. Ranking ahead of James are “Postman” Karl Malone with 9,787 and Moses Malone with 8,531.
In addition to this milestone, James, who achieved an unprecedented and probably unprecedented 40,000 points this year, also set an unimaginable miraculous super record.
James has played 70 games this season and has accumulated 1,794 points. Even if he scores zero points against the Pelicans in the last game of the regular season, his scoring average will still be higher than 25 points per game, reaching 20 consecutive years of averaging at least 25 points per game. Extraordinary record.
In James’ career, he only averaged less than 25 points in his rookie year, which was 20.9 points that year. On the other hand, James has also accumulated at least 1,500 points in a single season 20 times in his career. Looking at history, it is unmatched by anyone. It is the only season with less than 1,500 points. It was in 2020-21, when James only played 45 games due to injury.
LeBron James and Anthony Davis come up HUGE for the Lakers in the win vs. Memphis!
