ESPNWhile LeBron James made history by passing the 40,000 career points mark, he did so in a loss to the Nuggets. Shortly after the game, he was honest about the Nikola Jokic show to his face.
“We gotta stop you.”
– Jokic to LeBron. 😂

Disappointing evening for the Lakers, despite the feat achieved by LeBron James . The latter passed the 40,000 career points mark, the only one in history obviously, but all in a defeat, 124-114 against the Nuggets. Nikola Jokic’s teammates (35 points, 10 rebounds, 7 assists) decided to spoil the party… and the Serb announced the color.

At a press conference, the King was frank: impossible to stop Jokic on the floor, especially in such form. It’s not very encouraging if the Lakers cross paths with the Nuggets in the upcoming playoffs, for example.

LeBron on whether there’s an answer to Jokic right now: “No. No response (against him). »
In the event that the Lakers cross paths with the Nuggets in the postseason, Darvin Ham’s men will have to work miracles to beat them. LeBron James, for his part, remains admiring of the talent of Nikola Jokic.
