[Saba Sports News] LeBron James had a strong response for his critics after becoming the first NBA player to score 39,000 points.
Paul Rivera congratulated him on Instagram, highlighting the irony of people with no career points critiquing the top scorer in NBA history: “A lot of people with 0 career points trying to tell ya’ll where the guy with the most career points ranks.”
LeBron, renowned for his tenacity, shared Rivera’s message on his Instagram story, subtly underlining his resolve amid criticism.
On the court, the Los Angeles Lakers, led by LeBron, secured a resounding victory over the Utah Jazz, earning a place in the In-Season Tournament quarterfinals with a 131-99 win. Anthony Davis starred in the game with 26 points, 16 rebounds, four assists, and two steals, while LeBron contributed 17 points, seven rebounds, and nine assists.
This win, combined with LeBron’s historic milestone, stands as a robust reply to any doubters, reinforcing his status as an all-time great in basketball. LeBron’s ability to excel in high-pressure situations and handle scrutiny exemplifies his exceptional skill and mental strength.
