Lebron James of the Los Angeles Lakers has once again achieved NBA history by becoming the first individual to score 40 points against every franchise in the league.
In the Battle of Los Angeles on Tuesday night, "The King," who is 38 years old, surprisingly tied Michael Jordan's record of three games with 45 points or more.
James is presently 177 points shy of breaking Kareem Abdul-38,387-point Jabbar's NBA scoring record.
Despite the Lakers losing 133-115 to the Clippers in the West Coast rivalry game, James finished with 46 points, eight rebounds, and seven assists.
If he continues at this rate, he might pass the legendary NBA player in the next 10 games or less.
James also hit a career-high nine three-points with 6:45 to play against the Clippers, setting a career high from distance in his 1,404th game. But his brilliance wasn’t nearly enough, as the Lakers never caught up after falling behind by 23 points at halftime.
James spent the final minutes of Tuesday night’s game on the bench after tumbling in the stands following a steal on Kawhi Leonard with 5:17 to go in the third quarter, as Lakers head coach Darwin Ham didn’t want to potentially risk injuring the four-time NBA champion ahead of their five-game road trip starting on Saturday against the Boston Celtics.
