LeBron James scored 47 points, 10 rebounds and 9 assists on his 38th birthday, a near-big triple-double performance and led the team to victory. When talking about his performance at this level, James said:
"I have been scoring 30-point games. If this doesn't happen If you can win, then try to score 40 points. "
James' performance is exactly what the Lakers, who are suffering from injuries, need. Of course, James is already a 38-year-old veteran player, and it is impossible for him to continue to perform like this in most of the next games, so it remains to be seen how the Lakers will solve this problem.
On the other hand, Lakers legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar congratulated James on his happy birthday on social media:
As we all know, James's biggest goal in the later stages of his career is to break -Jabbar's career league scoring record of 38,388 points. After scoring 47 points, James has ranked second in history with 37,860 points, so James is very close to becoming the league's top scorer in history. Of course, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar still looks forward to and recognizes this junior's impact on his scoring title.
The last thing that needs to be mentioned is that Anthony Davis said that the pain has been reduced when talking about his injuries:
"I feel much better and the pain has also been greatly reduced," Anthony Davis said in an interview, " I think the next step is to fully recover."
For the Lakers, Anthony Davis' injury problem is definitely the most important thing for the team. After all, the team can still have very good strength and record performance when Davis can stay healthy. Of course, it remains to be seen how well the Lakers can perform after Anthony Davis returns.
