LeBron James has repeatedly shown that there is no longer any room for questioning his brilliance. He is astounded by his abilities on the basketball floor. James has been a force to reckon with whenever the team requires it.

The Bleacher Report X account revealed on Tuesday that ‘The King’ currently has 14 more 50-point performances in his illustrious career than single-digit games (8). James responded to the information with a slew of amusing emojis in a very direct manner.

With 40,474 points in 1,492 regular-season games, the 39-year-old superstar is the all-time greatest scorer in the NBA after 21 years of play. He will increase that number because he will be playing for the Los Angeles Lakers again next season.

On March 11, 2022, LeBron James scored fifty points in the LA Lakers’ 122-109 victory over the Washington Wizards at home. In addition to his 50 points on 18 of 25 and 6 of 9 three-point shooting, he also had seven rebounds and six assists. In 2005, while playing for the Cleveland Cavaliers, he scored 56 points to become the first player to exceed the 50-point mark.

Los Angeles Lakers Haven’t Made Any Offseason Signings Yet To Build A Decent Team Around LeBron James

Jovan Buha, a Lakers insider, described one scenario in which there would be no acceptable in-season transactions while talking about the possibility that the Lakers’ upcoming season would be a write-off.

Buha said, “The one caveat would be they’re the No. 1 or 2 seed in the West, they’re on a 60-win pace, they’re having an incredible season, D-Lo’s balling out, Austin has taken a step, Max has taken a step off the bench, they’ve figured out the right starting combination and everything’s humming, that’s the one caveat.”

According to Buha, that would include JJ Redick making the best rotational changes and LA’s younger players, such as Austin Reaves and Max Christie, making significant progress. Buha would appreciate the team’s standing ovation if those events took place and the Lakers suddenly jumped to the top of the Western Conference rankings.

 

Former NBA Champion Has The Entire Internet Scratching Their Heads After He Makes An Interesting Comment About Anthony Edwards

The Minnesota Timberwolves star, Anthony Edwards, has made controversial comments about Chicago Bulls legend Michael Jordan, sparking widespread discussion. Many NBA players, fans, and analysts have already shared their opinions about Edwards’ strong statements regarding the players and competition Jordan faced during his professional career. In addition to criticism from other players, a former NBA player has also slammed Edwards for his statement.

During a recent appearance on The Sheed & Tyler Show, American basketball coach Rasheed Wallace responded to Anthony Edwards, stating that Edwards is not even better than Derrick McKey.

 

“At this point in [Anthony Edwards’] career, he’s not better than a Derrick McKey, he’s not better than a Grant Hill, he’s not better than a Scottie Pippen. I’m talking both sides of the ball. Derrick McKey was a defender, and he would give you a solid 14, 16, 18, and he was a solid defender. [Ant] Is improving, but he’s not that defender yet.” Wallace said.

Wallace’s statement sparked debate among basketball fans, who began expressing their opinions in the comment section of the post on X (formerly known as Twitter).

One fan hilariously supported Edwards, saying, “Anthony Edwards is now in his Legend Killer arc after triggering all these old heads with his comment that only MJ was skilled back then.”

Meanwhile, another fan said, “Nobody cares about Rasheed Wallace in 2024. These oldheads are salty.”

Another fan criticized Wallace, “I had a chance to watch Rasheed play. Great player but slightly overrated due to the fact that he was also a fan favorite. Now he’s just grabbing at straws to get any attention he can. Obviously a terrible take here.”

Anthony Edwards’ Bold Take On Michael Jordan

During an August interview with the Wall Street Journal, Edwards mentioned that Jordan was the only player in his time with extraordinary skills. Edwards suggested that Jordan didn’t face tough competition because of his skills. He also mentioned that the remarkable abilities Jordan showcased during his professional career are now common among NBA players.

I didn’t watch it back in the day so I can’t speak on it. They say it was tougher back then than it is now, but I don’t think anybody had skill back then. (Jordan) was the only one that really had skill, you know what I mean? So that’s why when they saw Kobe, they were like, ‘Oh, my God.’ But now everybody has skill. Anthony Edwards said.

Several NBA players and former legends have already weighed in on Edwards’ remark. It will be fascinating to see how many reactions the Timberwolves star gets.
