American professional basketball is considered a sport of giants. “Giant” here means both literally and figuratively. It is the sport played by the biggest and tallest athletes in team sports and is also the sport with the most… millionaires in the world. And in it, American basketball legend LeBron James has just become “the biggest giant of giants”.
In the Los Angeles Lakers shirt, this 39-year-old pitcher scored 9 points against defending champion Denver to reach a historic record number of the American Professional Basketball League (NBA).
During his official tournament career, LeBron James scored 40,000 points, breaking the record set by Kareem Abdul Jabbar two years ago, becoming the highest-scoring pitcher in NBA history.
What’s more important is that in this match that marked LeBron James’ personal mark, Lebron’s Los Angeles Lakers team won the championship and turned Denver into a former champion.
After the match, Denver coach Darwin Ham even had to exclaim: “It was Lebron James who turned us into former champions. He alone “balances” the entire team’s play. At the age of 39, LeBron James is in very high form.”
LeBron James has been selected as the best athlete of the tournament four times and has won the championship four times with the club. This year, LeBron James is the oldest player.
The American professional basketball tournament has the most “dollar millionaire” athletes, on average, the number of professional players in a sports tournament.
