Although the Los Angeles Lakers are suffering through a miserable season, LeBron James has been having himself a tremendous year.
Coming into Saturday’s game versus the Washington Wizards, he was averaging 29.7 points, 8.1 rebounds and 6.2 assists per game. He has a real shot at winning the scoring title, which would be quite an accomplishment for a 37-year-old with tons of mileage like him.
Less than a week ago, he became the first player in NBA history to reach 30,000 points, 10,000 assists and 10,000 rebounds. Now, against the Wizards, James has surpassed Karl Malone to move into second place on the NBA’s career scoring list.
