Published 04/09/2022, 7:30 PM EDT

LeBron James had an exceptional season, unlike his team, the Lakers. Despite his best individual efforts, the Lakers failed to qualify for the play-in tournament. LeBron has been on the sidelines with his ankle injury for the last few matches and would finish the season with an amazing 30.3 points per game. He achieved two major records whereas the Nuggets star Nikola Jokic made history.

Nikola Jokic is in his 7th season in the NBA. The Serbian player has once again found his way into the MVP discussion. He is currently in a three horse race for the coveted prize awarded to the best player of the season in all aspects. He won the MVP last season and now eyes to win it for the second consecutive season.

Unlike the Lakers, the Nuggets have qualified for the playoffs and Nikola Jokic will have more chances to show his exceptional caliber. As far as LeBron is concerned, his season is finished. The Lakers will finish the season as 11th seed whereas the Nuggets have a chance to challenge for the title. Keeping aside the differences in impact of the two players on their teams, both LeBron James and Nikola Jokic created history this season.

Bron is not humble. He makes everything about himself. He def isn’t the only one and theyre athletes so of course their like that, but come on.

He’s earned the right to acknowledge how great he is the amount of work he put in to get here . Tf I wouldn’t be humble either

Yeah I’m sure LeBron could never get 37000+10000+10000 without his teammate Austin Reaves or Stanley Johnson. That game ball deserves their signature too lol. I mean come on, the two accomplishments are not comparable like at all lmao. 🤣

LeBron wouldn’t have gotten these records if he wasn’t allowed to statpad in garbage time on the awful team he constructed. So in a way, his teammates are helping him.

Yea cause Jokic has done so much in the playoffs lol, ones celebrating 19 years of hard work and 2+ maybe of jokic? lol

Let’s chill, we get it, Jokic is a humble dude, bragging about humble he is functionally the opposite thing Jokic would want. We can love him w/o tearing down Lebron freaking James a basketball GOD, who is 38 and done it all. It’s just weird to me idk

Isn’t he 37. I am a Lebron hater but….jeebus. He’s 2 years younger than me and doing amazing things on the court.

He’s not better than this. They will never pass up an opportunity to take a shot at LeBron.

It's cool that Jokic is so nonchalant about his individual accomplishments, but it also doesn't put him above other NBA stars. These players are incredibly good at what they do and it's totally fine for them to celebrate achievements. Framing it as otherwise isn't necessary IMO

LeBron also broke the scoring record of Karl Malone this season to become the player with 2nd most points in the history of the NBA. He is just around 1300 points away from becoming the highest scorer player in NBA history. After reaching the second spot and reaching the monstrous feat of 10,000 in all three stats concludes another brilliant season for James.

On the other hand, Jokic’s record might just be one of those extraordinary things which would take a tremendous season for someone to even get close to what he achieved. It would not be an overstatement to say that the enormous feat might be untouchable.

Moreover, Nikola Jokic still has the postseason to have a winning impact on his team, in the attempt to win his MVP and his first NBA championships.
