NBA superstars from the Los Angeles Lakers, Anthony Davis and LeBron James, with bad-day looks

A new milestone was reached by LeBron James this Saturday: the 40,000 career points mark. However , this historic event took place during the defeat of the Lakers (114-124) against the Nuggets to the great dismay of Anthony Davis, who let his frustration speak.

After an impressive victory for the Lakers against the Clippers thanks in particular to a comeback in the 4th quarter by LeBron James , the city of LA had a date with history last Saturday. In fact, the King was only missing 9 small units to surpass the 40,000 career points mark. Unfortunately, this symbolic record took place during a defeat against the Nuggets (114-124).

His 26 points at 60% shooting were therefore not enough for the Purple & Gold to collect their 34th victory of the season while each success now becomes essential in the race for the playoffs. But it is clear that when the King breaks a record, it does not necessarily succeed for his team. At a press conference, Anthony Davis spoke about this fairly regular phenomenon recently.

Anthony Davis comments on LeBron James’ record

If you were a young person, you’d think Stephen Curry would be the one to break the record, given the shots he takes, but that’s not the case. And it’s tough because LeBron James isn’t done playing, so it’s only going to get bigger and bigger and you know the gap is going to get bigger and bigger. That’s why I told him in the locker room that he should probably stop breaking records.

Because every time he breaks a record, we end up losing the game. He’s been to eight straight Finals, and that’s something that helps you play longer in the playoffs. He’s going to continue to score and be the No. 1 option on his team, and do everything possible to score. And for the moment, I don’t see anyone breaking his record.

Author of 17 points at 7/13 shooting, Anthony Davis was also unable to allow the Lakers to win. Perhaps the fault of LeBron’s record? Or just a coincidence? Because it’s a scenario that has already been repeated many times in recent seasons. Like many, Stephen A. Smith noticed this and also criticized it on the sets of ESPN .

I’m quite disgusted. On opening night of the Lakers’ season, they lost to the Nuggets. The night Kobe’s statue was revealed, they also lost. Tonight, LeBron James exceeds 40,000 points and they lose the game again.

In the end, maybe it’s time for LBJ to stop breaking records? But that day doesn’t seem to be coming soon, as the four-time champion still shows no signs of slowing down and will do his best to seek a fifth ring.

During the match between the Nuggets and the Lakers this Saturday, we will obviously remember the milestone of 40,000 points reached by LeBron James. As is often the case, however, this feat was marred by defeat. Anthony Davis therefore ironically advised the Chosen One to stop breaking records.
