The 39-year-old LeBron James broke the 40,000-point mark in the regular season in his 21st career season and became the first player in NBA history to score 40,000 career points.
Unfortunately, the Lakers were unable to beat the Nuggets and make their milestone even more meaningful. Subsequently, LeBron James also took to Instagram David Lane on personal social **, and he praised LeBron James as "the best basketball player of all time".
LeBron James played 26 points, 4 rebounds, 9 assists and 3 steals against the Nuggets, and although he performed well, the team couldn't defend the Nuggets at critical moments in the final quarter, which allowed them to continue to suffer a losing streak against the Nuggets.
LeBron's Instagram post is captioned with the "1 1" crown, which is a reference to his unparalleled greatness and unique impact on the game of basketball. It's true to say that LeBron James' work ethic and dedication inspire others.
However, over the years, LeBron James has focused on off-court business, rather than NBA honors and achievements, which has changed the outside world's perception of him dramatically. Especially when he praised his son Bronny James and belittled other players.
Recently, it has been reported that LeBron James has no respect for head coach Ham at all, and he often ignores the head coach when the game is suspended or rested, and even lashes out at the head coach. Many people think that LeBron James looks down on Hamm, which also makes LeBron James receive a lot of criticism.
In fact, not only LeBron James, but even Anthony Davis, Hachimura, Wood, Reaves and D'Angelo Russell have been exposed to be dissatisfied with Hamm's tactical arrangement. This also leads to LeBron James often changing Hamm's tactical arrangement in the game and letting his teammates play according to their own tactical arrangement.
LeBron James faces a very challenging season in his career in 2023-24, with the team's record slumping badly after winning key in-season tournaments. The Lakers are now 10th in the West, and if they can't get more wins, they have a good chance of stopping at the brink of the playoffs.
LeBron James is 39 years old, and this season is almost the last championship window of his career. If he loses again this season, he could even leave or be traded in the offseason.
