This could be his final year in Los Angeles, but it’s not stopping LeBron James from creating more history for the franchise. In fact, throughout the series against the Houston Rockets, the 41-year-old etched his name in the history books for different categories. Game 6 was no different, as some of the favorites fell short of the current King James’ scoring.
LeBron reached 1,500 playoff points with the Lakers during the second quarter on Friday. He was faster than Kobe Bryant, Wilt Chamberlain, & Magic Johnson. Let’s not forget that Kobe Bryant, 5,640 points, and Magic Johnson, 3,701 points, occupy the #1 and #4 places in the most points scored for the franchise. But they weren’t the fastest to do so.
Magic had elite scorers as teammates, including Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, James Worthy, and Byron Scott. So, his production wasn’t as high, just purely out of his demand for playmaking. He even won the Finals MVP after captain Kareem was injured in the Finals. Similarly, Kobe was a high-school pass-out, barely getting any minutes in the beginning of his career. But ultimately, both of them took over and stand among the elites for the franchise. Now, LeBron James too takes step-after-step to put more stamp on his undoubted legacy.
Even Bron was not the quickest, as Shaquille O’Neal only took 52 games in comparison to James 59 to reach that milestone. But we have to remember this: LeBron James is in the back half of his career, not in his prime like Shaq. While he may not be the fastest Laker, James is the NBA’s all-time leader with 8,400 career points scored in the postseason. In his 23rd year, which could be his last for the Purple and Gold, he is still setting new records, especially in the playoffs.
