Summary

The range of emotions on display Tuesday at the Crypt was extensive. On the one hand, LeBron James accomplished something truly remarkable, passing Lakers (and NBA) legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar to become the NBA's all-time leader in points scored. It came late in the third quarter, with a turnaround jumper over Oklahoma City forward Kenrich Williams. For James, it was the culmination of 20 years' worth of incredibly consistent performance. 27 points a game for two decades, on top of all the assists, the winning and more. One doesn't just stumble into 38K+ points. He was surrounded by family, by friends, and by basically everyone he considered a key part of his journey as a player and a person, and seemed genuinely moved by the moment and the achievement, even while knowing that the record would be his, barring some type of catastrophic happening. For all his talent, particularly given LeBron's background, none of this was a given. Kareem, for his part, looked pleased, and the moment gave people a reason to stop and remember how good he was, as well. But the Lakers lost the game, and it was a costly one. The team looked discombobulated, not quite sure how to handle LeBron's chase and still play the game. But while you might expect that to hurt them offensively, that wasn't the issue. The Lakers simply couldn't get any stops. They scored 66 points in the first half, and finished it down by 10. Anthony Davis felt oddly detached throughout the game, and picked a really bad time to be very unproductive. Darvin Ham's dedication to ineffective lineups continued. Russell Westbrook had some awful turnovers, and as a team the Lakers gave the ball up 20 times. This one hurt, and the Lakers are running out of time to set things right. HOSTS: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky SEGMENT 1: LeBron James passes Kareem Abdul-Jabbar to become the NBA's all-time leading scorer. SEGMENT 2: Looking back on how LeBron got here, and what he's accomplished. SEGMENT 3: The Lakers lost a really important game, never really threatened to win, and Anthony Davis was a no-show.
