LeBron James is part of the Lakers team that had one of the worst starts of the season since 2014-15. The Los Angeles Lakers have lost 5 games in the 2022-23 season making their record 0-5. The Yellow and Purple squad have received a lot of criticism from the fans following the losses. But, they also had a silver lining, their best player just broke an 18-Year-Old record during the game.

The four-time NBA champion broke the record for most 20-point games, beating a former Basketball legend. But a large section of fans were not so excited about it. Rather they decided to shower the Lakers superstar with criticism for his team’s current performances.

LeBron James breaks an 18-year-old record

LeBron James is possibly one of the greatest basketball players to ever grace the court. But it doesn’t change the fact that his team is at the bottom of the table. The Los Angeles Lakers lost 111-102 to the Minnesota Timberwolves, contributing to their abysmal start to the league.

Amid all this chaos, the 18-time All-Star has broken a record set by former NBA legend, Karl Malone in 2004. LeBron James just became the player with the highest no. of games with 20+ points, with 1135 games overall.

It is an unbelievable achievement, since a lot of hard work goes into having such consistency for over 19 seasons. Fans, however, were not going gaga over the record. On the contrary, they were upset at the state of the team and also at the four-time Finals MVP. In fact, they flooded social media with their reactions to the news.

Let’s look at some of the reactions.

Fans have called out the Lakers superstar for not uplifting the game of his teammates. The current performances of the Lakers contribute to such a thought process for the 37-Year-old legend.

James has averaged 25.8 PPG in 2022-23, which is decent. But it has gone in vain since the team is struggling to get their first break of the season. Other players had sub-par performances too, much to the disappointment of the fans.

James en route to another record

The Lakers superstar is inches away from breaking another record in 2022-23. The 37-year-old is expected to break the all-time top scorer record of the great Kareem Abdul-Jabbar which has been held intact since 1989.
