Lebron ties Jordan’s record
Lebron James doesn’t go into every game thinking he needs to score 10 points.
The 14-time All-star said it just “organically happens.”
It helps, of course, to be a multi-talented 6-foot-8, 250-pound forward viewed by many as the most physically talented basketball player of all-time.
The 33-year-old James matched Michael Jordan’s streak of 866 consecutive double-digit scoring games on Wednesday night, scoring 41 points to help the Cleveland Cavaliers beat the Jordan-owned Charlotte Hornets 118-105 and remain in third place in the Eastern Conference.
“I can’t tell you how I’ve been able to do it,” James said. “Any time I’m mentioned with some of the greats, and arguably the greatest basketball player of alltime in Mike, it’s just another feat for me to be just appreciative and humbled by what I’m able to do.” Minnesota at Baltimore, 12:05 p.m. Houston at Texas, 12:35 p.m. N.Y.
