WATCH: LeBron James With Near-Triple-Double vs Sixers

“It just means that I’ve played with a lot of great teammates, a lot of great coaches that have allowed me to me to be in position to be successful on the floor”, James told ESPN before game time on Monday when informed he was nearing the point total. “I’ve been able to play with two great organizations”. It’s a cool thing.

LeBron fell just one board shy of his first triple-double of the season, pouring in 22 points, grabbing 9 rebounds and handing out 11 dimes.

In his 13th season in the National Basketball Association, James has become the youngest player in National Basketball Association history to score 25,000 points.

James was even given a standing ovation from the Philadelphia crowd for the accomplishment.

“They are Sixer fans to death”.

“It comes from a few of the continuity we had from past year, but it’s been a little surprising to myself since we had no opportunity through the preseason throughout practice to have the full team that’s been playing now”, James said. It took James 915 games to reach the mark, while Wilt Chamberlain (691), Michael Jordan (782), and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (889) all reached the milestone sooner.

James turned heads over the weekend when he dressed as musician Prince at a Halloween bash. Lebron James and Kevin Love will lead the Cavaliers in a tough, but good team win. 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. He achieved this feat in the match “Cleveland Cavaliers against Philadelphia 76ers”. If he’s not, and if I see or we see or together we see that he needs a break then we’ll give it to him.

Okafor led the Sixers (0-3) with 24 points in 26 minutes. Guard Nik Stauskas had 15 and forward Nerlens Noel chipped in 14 points, eight rebounds and three blocked shots.

“I know he’s frustrated”, Scott said. He scored 37 points against Bryant’s 31 in that game.

In Minneapolis, Damian Lillard had 34 points and seven assists as the Portland Trail Blazers beat the Timberwolves 106-101 after Minnesota honored fallen coach Flip Saunders with an emotional pregame tribute. Injured G Kyrie Irving (left kneecap) traveled with the team. He had a heavy workout on Sunday and had no planned workout on Monday, so he made the trip.

Robert Covington did not exactly ease back into action. Reserve G T.J. McConnell had 12 assists.

He settled on “pretty cool” as a description for this latest milestone, adding that he really hadn’t had a chance to “categorize the list of things (he’s) done”.

James has other connections to the Sixers as well.

James said the unselfish play will make it easy for Irving to fit right in whenever his fractured left kneecap is healed enough to make his season debut.
