The Los Angeles Lakers will be the home to many celebrations, which will arrive with LeBron James breaking the biggest NBA record. Even before the season started, people started assuming how soon LeBron could make it to Kareem Abdul Jabbar’s record. But the moment has finally arrived, and as expected, the Lakers superstar could very well achieve his feat in early February. According to various reports and NBA stats, the 38-year-old is only 36 points short from making history in the league. However, their problems with qualifying for the playoff remain, losing yet another game against New Orleans on Saturday.
The New Orleans, former home to Anthony Davis, won 131-126 against the Lakers on Saturday night. They had a terrible run in the league, losing their last ten games but snapped against LA. LeBron James managed to score a decent 27 points along with nine rebounds and six assists, which brings him closer than ever to the top. But King is still unhappy as he wants to win more, and his team, surrounded by average support, is a hindrance. So, there were many questions thrown about the trade at LeBron in the postgame interview.
LeBron James Is Tired Of Making Efforts
Playing a dynamic sport like basketball is one thing, but dominating the sport for 20 years is a different ball game. The 38-year-old has been phenomenal in expressing himself in the 20th season of his career. Adding to his accomplishments this year, he has entered the 19th All-Star game as the most-voted athlete. His thunderous performance also led him to climb to fourth on the NBA’s All-time assists list in the past weeks.
But even after such astonishing accomplishments, LeBron James has failed to bring his team under the top 10 Western Conference teams. The NBA might have a huge celebration when LeBron breaks Kareem Abdul Jabbar’s record, but the King eyes the title.
In his postgame interview, LeBron James mentions his desire to win the games. “You know, you play the game the right way and see what happens,” said LeBron. He also said, “I’m tired as hell.” But also quickly added that he would be ready for Tuesday’s game. And since Russell Westbrook has been under the trade rumor fire, he was also asked about the trades. According to Russ, the front office’s decisions are not his business. Moreover, the 34-year-old point guard says he has been all in since the day he came to LA.
James also mentioned that the trade deadline is no excuse for the players to distract themselves. The trade deadline arrives every year, and the players get to act professionally, added LeBron James. Meanwhile, the Lakers superstar also said that Kyrie Irving would improve the squad as the Lakers are linked with him. And the Akron Hammer and Kyrie also have ties from the past when they won the title in 2016 in Cleveland Cavaliers. However, as of now, the Lakers still wait for the right moments and players.
