LeBron James and the Lakers have regrettably had a lot of incredible performances in losing efforts this season. LeBron has scored 30 points or more 19 times this season, but just 10 of those outbursts have led to a victory for the Lakers. On Tuesday night, he created his most irrational masterpiece against the Clippers. LeBron scored 46 points, grabbed 8 rebounds, and dished out 7 assists while making 16 of 29 field goal attempts and 9 of 14 three-point attempts and committing no turnovers. The Lakers suffered an 18-point defeat. Although losing hurts, the record LeBron broke in this game could provide some solace.
LeBron accomplished a feat that no other player in NBA history has done with 43 points against the Clippers. To be fair, he was able to do it rather than historical greats like Wilt Chamberlain, Michael Jordan, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and others, since there are currently 30 NBA clubs.
