“For me the most important thing is to win: I hate the fact that this goal came in our defeat.” In the post-game, LeBron James is forced to celebrate yet another milestone in a legendary career but immediately makes it clear that his (his and the Lakers’) objective must be different. The NBA champions – the same ones who last year faced and beat the yellow and purple in the conference final, preventing them from accessing the finals – ruined the party on the day of his 40,000 career points, but “King” James focuses on in any case on the goal achieved: “I know the history of this league, and the great players who have passed through it: being the first ever to collect these numbers is nice, it’s nice.” But LeBron is the first to know that no record can be considered eternal: “There are many players who know how to score, I can’t tell you today if anyone will be able to beat this record of mine but every record is made to be beaten. Never say never.
It was thought that the record of Oscar Robertson – averaging a triple double on the season – could never be broken. Then Russell Westbrook he did it, and today Jokic e Doncic they go triple-double almost every night,” explained LeBron. Maybe he’s right, but he certainly has a notable advantage over the competition: in fact, among active players, no one has yet exceeded 30,000. The record of “King” James will remain with him for quite a while.
