He was already among the all-time greats of basketball, but now he has risen one step further: Lebron James in this night's turn in the NBA has in fact crossed the milestone of 35 thousand points in his career.
Better than him in the history of this sport have only done Kareem Abdul-Jabbar with 38.387 and Karl Malone with 36.928.
The party of the Lakers champion was, however, marred by the defeat of his team against the Nets for 109-98.
Lebron scored 32 points, but the Brooklyn side played a great game, led by Kyrie Irving (16 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists) and James Harden (23 points and 11 assists).
Resounding result in the second of the three matches played tonight: the Raptors in fact beat the Bucks away 100-96, condemning the Milwaukee team to the fifth defeat in a row and an abrupt stop to its aims in the standings.
In the third match, Miami Heat win over the Kings for 118-110.
In the standings, the Sixers are leading in the east followed by the Nets; to the west, Utah Jazz leads, followed by the Lakers.
