Lakers’ LeBron James hits unreal 39,000 points milestone vs. Jazz, sparks GOAT talk
LeBron James’ combination of greatness and unprecedented longevity has earned him the unique possession of 39,000 ClutchPoints at the club. The all-time leading scorer had an incredible performance during the Los Angeles Lakers’ home game against the Utah Jazz on Tuesday night.
If you know commissioner Adam Silver, you’re probably excited that James accomplished this feat in the NBA’s regular season tournament.
He got off to a great start with a 3-pointer 5 minutes into the first quarter. Of course, fans immediately used this story to make James the GOAT case. If everyone recognized the importance of availability and consistency, LeBron would be the unanimous GOAT.
“We’ll never see this again LeBron the real GOAT,” Lemon Pepperou writes on X. The league is loaded with generational talent, but it’s hard to find another superstar who has scored more than 39,000 career points.
Even in the era of 3-point basketball. Despite James’ solid resume, the GOAT debate may not end easily tonight. This debate will forever be divisive. But we can all agree that the Lakers star is truly special.
The 38-year-old is currently averaging 26.4 points, 8.2 rebounds and 6.5 assists in his 21st NBA season.
LeBron James’ legacy will only grow the more he plays at this level. But his main mission is to win another championship for the Lakers. They are looking for their sixth win in their last seven games and a guaranteed spot in the NBA regular season playoffs.
An impressive win over the 4-9 Jazz would be a great way for James to celebrate the big occasion.
