Lebron James praises Golden State Warriors

And if you understand the history of the sport, then there is no way you could ever forget Oscar Robertson. He was pitted against Kobe as the best players of their time, framed as an heir to Jordan, and his multi-faceted skill set has inevitably drawn comparisons to Robertson, who was a triple-double machine in his prime, just as James is a threat on any given night.

On Monday night, LeBron James moved into his rarefied air. “He’s a guy who laid the foundation, and I’m just trying to carry it on”. Now he joins Robertson on another exclusive list.

James missed a jumper from the top of the key with 38 seconds left, giving the Hornets a shot to tie or take the lead. “I’ve been very blessed to be with a lot of great teammates and two great organizations that allowed me to do some unbelievable things”, James said.

The Golden State Warriors might be answering every possible challenge and critic that has annoyed them over the past year or so, but LeBron James has his say on the matter, and while he might sound a bit salty for bringing up the injury and health issue, he does have a point.

Kevin Love was the player of the game, finishing with 34 points (27 of those in the first half), eight rebounds and four assists. James is also 19th on the all-time points scoring list and is expected to pass Reggie Miller in 18th place when the Cavs visit Toronto on Wednesday night.

“Down the stretch he makes the plays to win basketball games”. LeBron James has had his fair share of accomplishments, but he’s never had more than 66 wins in a season.

“The really great players play at the pace they want to play at in the game”, Skiles said. He’s posting 10 points and 13.7 rebounds over his last three games, up from his season averages of 7.8 points and 10.1 rebounds per game…

Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh scored 16 points apiece to help the Miami Heat end the New York Knicks’ four-game winning run and maintain the pressure on Cleveland with a 95-78 success.

James matched a season-high with 13 assists to go with 15 points and six rebounds.

Richard Jefferson added 13 points and Tristan Thompson pulled down 12 rebounds for the Cavaliers. Tobias Harris scored 19 points for Orlando, and Evan Fournier and Victor Oladipo had 17 apiece. Kevin Garnett had eight points and 10 rebounds and the Timberwolves (6-8) won at home for the first time in seven games this season. Rookie Kristaps Porzingis had 20 points and 14 rebounds.

Six other Milwaukee players scored in double figures.

Curry made a season-high nine of his 16 attempts from long range in his 14th career 40-point game, five of them this season.

CHARLOTTE, North Carolina (AP) – Kemba Walker scored 39 points as Charlotte battled back from 22 points down in the second half to beat Sacramento in overtime.

Orlando rallied from an early 12-point deficit to take a 42-34 lead in the second quarter before centre Kevin Love heated up.
