On Saturday night, Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James became the first player in NBA history to score 40,000 career points, and the reactions are pouring in.
Lakers legend Magic Johnson weighed in, sharing a touching message to James on social media:
Unfortunately for Magic, the Lakers fell to the Denver Nuggets 124-114.
Johnson knows something about Lakers royalty, having headed up the legendary Showtime Lakers of the 1980s that also featured Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, James Worthy, Sam Perkins, Byron Scott, and more.
NBA analyst Kendrick Perkins shared his own thoughts praising LeBron.
Said Perkins on Los Angeles’ leader, “Get ready to start sculpting the statue for LeBron [James] outside of Crypto Arena… The GOAT!”
Continuing an elite level of play, LeBron is in the midst of by far the best age-39 season ever. He’s averaging 25.3 points, 7.1 rebounds, 7.9 assists and 1.2 steals per game on near-elite shooting efficiency, including a career-best 40.8% on three-pointers.
Against the Nuggets, James had 26 points, four rebounds, and nine assists in the loss. The Lakers were tied with Denver headed into the fourth quarter, but the Nuggets outscored Los Angeles 35-25 in the final quarter.
Up next for LeBron and the Lakers: hosting the Oklahoma City Thunder on Monday.
