“As long as it’s not a free throw”: this is how LeBron James explained his point of view, speaking on ESPN a few hours before the jump ball of what could become the game that will lead him to be the best scorer in NBA history – a legendary goal (hard to find a better adjective), the goal of a ride that began 20 years ago when he was chosen by the Cleveland Cavaliers in the 2003 Draft. The maxi countdown is missing 36 points from the appeal – just over the 30 average he is maintaining despite the 38 years he already turned last December 30 in this regular season. Figures that tell the ability to be eternal of a player who continues to have no limits, ready to surpass Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s 38,387 career points and to take a record held by the former Bucks and Lakers player for 39 years. It seemed like a mountain that was impossible for anyone to climb, the daughter of another basketball and of a different way of interpreting the game – in which the physical dimensions out of reach for anyone in the center of the 70s and 80s managed to guarantee him points and baskets against all types defense and opponent.

If we talk about physical capacity and performance in the NBA though, none can be compared with the yellow-violet n°6: technical, athletic and above all resistant to any type of blow, contact or unexpected event that has occurred in the last two decades. This is why it becomes even more important and iconic to celebrate such a moment: how? Following the game between the Lakers and the Thunder, live tonight at 4.00 with original commentary and then in reply with the voice of Flavio Tranquillo and Matteo Soragna. What if the expected 36 points don’t arrive? No problem, it will be repeated in two days against the Milwaukee Bucks, also in Los Angeles and obviously always on Sky Sports channels.
