LeBron James broke Michael Jordan’s record for most 30-point games in his career with a fadeaway jumper against the Atlanta Hawks. The move came in the fourth quarter, as James scored his 30th point of the night, taking him to a total of 563 30+ point games.
James’ achievement is a testament to his consistency and dedication to his craft. He has long idolized Jordan and has sought to emulate his skills on the court. “He was more of a left shoulder fade away guy,” James said. “But just two masters of the craft, putting in work to make it unguardable.”
The Lakers’ victory over the Hawks marked another milestone for James, who continues to pad his resume as one of the greatest players in NBA history. His teammates and opponents alike are now accustomed to James breaking records on a regular basis. “Took him seven more seasons,” joked teammate Anthony Davis.
James is now the all-time leader in 30+ point games, surpassing Jordan’s record. He was quoted as saying it was “very humbling” to break the record and that he feels fortunate to be mentioned alongside some of the greatest players in the game.
