Before the game, Lakers coach JJ Redick challenged his group to play unselfishly. By the end of the first quarter, James had six assists. He finished with 31 points, nine rebounds and 10 assists. He tomahawked dunks, sliced to the rim with a blend of power and grace and swished home catch-and-shoot 3s.
Starting Monday night, LeBron James will wear a commemorative patch on his jersey to honor his NBA record 23rd season.
Twenty-three years after the Sacramento Kings became the first team to see what LeBron James was capable of doing in the NBA, they got to have some fun at his expense following Tuesday's 124-112 win over the Los Angeles Lakers.
LeBron James distanced himself from comments made by agent Rich Paul, who recently urged the Los Angeles Lakers to trade teammate Austin Reaves.
