The Lakers conceded loss to the Nuggets today, concluding with a score of 114-124. However, LA supporters are ready to disregard it this time due to another significant historical event. LeBron James achieved the milestone of 40,000 career points. “The King” needed to score 9 more points to achieve 40,000. Who is the most probable player to reach the 40k milestone? Anthony Davis seems to have a prepared response.
The post-game interview included The Brow revealing his prediction for who he believes will be the successor to follow in LeBron’s footsteps. “Steph might be the one, considering his shooting skills.”
Davis offers a humorous perspective on his buddy and reliable teammate’s significant achievement. The squad consistently loses whenever the Lakers superstar sets a new record. AD feels that James should refrain from breаking any more records for the team’s sake.
James’ significant evening was marred by the Denver Nuggets as they secured the ultimate triumph. And at the Lakers’ home floor as well. James ended the game with 26 points, nine assists, and four rebounds, leading the team, while the other four starters also scored in double figures. However, they were unable to overcome the current champion, Nikola Jokić, and his squad.
The most recent victory for LA vs Denver occurred on December 16, 2022. Subsequently, the Lakers have not emerged victorious in any game. However, it is the other side of the coin. Returning to Davis’ assertions, let’s see whether they are substantial.
Anthony Davis may be speaking truthfully.
Davis’ remarks about LeBron setting or breаking records coinciding with the team losing may have some credence. We will examine the following two situations, if not by anything else. The first event refers to when the ‘GOAT’ surpassed Abdul-Jabbar’s All-Time scoring record.
The Purple & Gold faced the up-and-coming Oklahoma City Thunder on February 7, 2023. James scored 38 points that night, bringing his career total to 38,390 points and surpassing Jabbar’s 38,387 points. The squad was defeated by OKC with a score of 130-133.
In the next occurrence that occurred in the same year, Kareem was once again the standard by which others were measured. LA faced up against Joel Embiid and the 76ers on November 27. James and Co. were defeated 94-138, nevertheless, the 4-time winner eclipsed “The Captain” in the All-Time Minutes record. Abdul-Jabbar had 66,297 minutes, and James surpassed him with 66,298 minutes.
