LeBron James of Cleveland Cavaliers becomes youngest player to score 25000 points

“There’s been over 1900 guys that have been in this league, so I guess it’s a cool thing”.

With Smith now out, Matthew Dellavedova is expected to get more playing time along with Jared Cunningham.

Along with his 22 points, James provided an all-around performance also recording nine rebounds, 11 assists, four steals and two blocks.

Of course, it being LeBron the milestone had to be accomplished with a flourish, which LeBron added right before reaching the mark on a thunderous alley-oop dunk earlier in that fourth quarter.

However, what made James stand out is that he became the youngest National Basketball Association player to reach the 25,000-point milestone at only 30 years and 307 days old. The Los Angeles Lakers’ Kobe Bryant is now the youngest to score that much at 31 years, 151 days, ironically against LeBron James and the Cavaliers on January 21, 2010.

The Philadelphia fans accorded James with a standing ovation during a timeout with 7:45 left, when an announcement was made about his achievement. Basketball fans will find it easier to answer that worn poser if the latter keeps breaking records. I felt that we were better with him in the game.

James turned heads over the weekend when he dressed as musician Prince at a Halloween bash. The veteran is historically inconsistent with his jump shot and is off to an 8-of-29 start from the field in the first four games.BUZZER BEATERS1.

“In the summer, I will still go because I have a way out in the contract”, Saric told the newspaper on Saturday. They would have had two more if Noel hadn’t lost the ball on an uncontested breakaway. Guard Nik Stauskas had 15 and forward Nerlens Noel chipped in 14 points, eight rebounds and three blocked shots.

James has appeared in 45 regular-season games against the Bulls in his illustrious 13-year career, tied with Detroit for the most appearances against any one team. Noel and Okafor powered Philadelphia to a 32-18 lead after one and a 54-49 edge at the break.

“Jahlil was tough for a while”, Brown said. Mo Williams, who’s been starting in Irving’s place, is averaging 4.5 assists per night. After falling to the Celtics by 112-95 in the season opener, the Sixers flew back home to face the Jazz and got routed by 99-71 in a laugher on Friday. Reserve G T.J. McConnell had 12 assists.

“It’s pretty cool”, he said.

“I think they have a few young talent”, James said. Cleveland rolled through the Eastern Conference playoffs before losing in six games in the Finals, which they played without Love and Irving, who were injured.

Until then, the Sixers will continue taking their lumps.

“Everyone wants instant oatmeal”, James said. “But it’s always a process”. You gotta build things from the ground up.
