Last night LeBron James and the Lakers lost – quite badly – against the Kings but, if Anthony Davis disappointed, LeBron maintained his rank as king by slamming another very big match. And he took the opportunity to pass a few additional milestones, just to keep that in mind.
Little morning game. Below is a list of six accomplishments, but only three belong to LeBron James from that night. Will you be able to find them?
Became the eighth most prolific 3-point shooter in history Became the first player in history to sing “Les yeux d’Émilie” before a free throw Became the first Lakers player to publicly give his opinion on the highly overrated Anthony Davis Became the fifth player with the most triple-doubles in NBA history Became the second oldest player in history to sign a triple-double in the NBA Became the first NBA player since 2012 to defend during the regular season.
Drum roll, it was therefore necessary to answer 1, 4 and 6, while 3 could happen, that 6 is not that far from the truth and that 2 would mean the conclusion in the GOAT debate.
More seriously ? LeBron James therefore took advantage of the Kings – Lakers classic to raise his name in a few NBA rankings, surpassing past glories like Jason Kidd, Jason Statham or Jason Terry, well at least two of the three.
A historic night for LeBron ????

As for parking lot shots, LeBron James will soon jump to place 7 (seven shots to overtake Vince Carter), and he could even take a kiss to place 6 at the end of the season if the basketball gods are right. ‘agreement.
Congrats to @KingJames of the @Lakers for moving to 8th all-time in 3-pointers made! pic.twitter.com/Of01TEk0Cb

As for the triple-double? See you from December… 2024, to see if LeBron is still capable of crazy things like Karl Malone 20 years ago, and we’re not talking about… in short, see you in a year, when he misses him now 30 TDs to join Magic Johnson, if we assume that it will be difficult for him to go faster than Nikola Jokic in this area.
At 38 years old, LeBron James is the 2nd-oldest player in NBA history to record a triple-double.
He trails Karl Malone, who did it as a 40-year-old in 2003 with the Lakers. pic.twitter.com/NzootWSekM

With his 28 points, 10 rebounds, 12 assists and 4 steals in 35 minutes, LeBron James once again showed that you don’t talk to him about age. How long gone are the days when people talked about saving their playing time this season…
