Daily NBA Fix: LeBron James Passes Another Milestone
By Ben Gibson
LeBron James continues to move up the all-time points leaderboard, passing Jerry West and Reggie Miller this month.
On Wednesday night LeBron James passed another milestone with his 25,298th point to move into 18th ahead of Reggie Miller. The Raptors may have got the 103-99 victory, but James’ assault on the record books continued.
Another game, another milestone. At this point, you just assume he’s going to pass another just as quickly as he checked off these boxes so far, but we’ll have to wait a while longer before he closes in on No. 17 Alex English‘s 25,613 career points.
When a player turns passing the milestones of all-time great players into a monthly list of accomplishments, that might be more impressive than even passing those marks. It is just a list we know he’ll continue to climb.
The only question is how high will he climb before his career ends?
Westbrook Attacks the Rim With Great Vengeance And Furious Anger
Russell Westbrook led the team in assists with 13 in the Oklahoma City Thunder’s 110-99 win over the Brooklyn Nets, but he was on the receiving end of a pair of passed that led to dunks.
The only thing surprising about this game was that OKC didn’t win by more than 11.
Griffin Sad About Losing
Coldplay once asked “When you try your best and you don’t succeed, what could be worse?
For Blake Griffin it didn’t matter that he had 40 points and 12 rebounds because the Los Angeles Clippers fell 102-91 to the Utah Jazz.
