NBA: LA Lakers winning, LeBron James in history
No player had ever reached 20 call-ups to the All Star Game
.
On the night, the LA Lakers got rid of the Chicago Bulls (141-132). As is often the case, excellent performance by James who finished the match with 25 points and 12 assists. The best way to celebrate the 20th call-up to the All Star Game. A historic achievement that allows the Yellow Violet ace to surpass Abdul-Jabbar and become the recordman every era in this particular ranking as well.
James, who is playing his 21st NBA season, is traveling at stellar averages for someone of his age (class of 1985): 24.8 points per game average with also 7.2 rebounds and 7.4 assists. "Kudos to him. He's the architect of his own success. He's crazy. I am happy for him", the words of Ham, coach of the LA Lakers and, therefore, also coach of the legend James.
In the other games of the night, Golden State loses to Sacramento (134-133, Curry’s mistake on the final play). Utah did well, getting rid of Washington (123-108). Solid game for Fontecchio, who finished with 10 points and seven rebounds in 21' of play. Bad defeat for Denver that surrenders to New York (122-84, all despite a 31-point final Jokic with also 11 rebounds).
