Halftime: Lakers 69, Pelicans 59
Jaxson Hayes has a season-high 19 points. He’s 8-for-8 on all dunks/layups. Luka Doncic has 20 points and 9 assists. There’s been a clear difference in how the offense has functioned w/ him on the floor (five turnovers aside). LeBron has 12/4/5. – 11:37 PM

Halftime: Lakers 69, Pelicans 59.
Luka Doncic closes out the 2Q with a stepback 3, putting him at 20 points, 9 assists and five rebounds.
Jaxson Hayes: 19 points, eight rebounds.
LeBron James: 12 points, five assists, four rebounds.
Shake Milton: 8 points. – 11:35 PM

LeBron nailed a pair of 3’s, both from Luka, to put the Lakers up 51-43, an answer to a hot New Orleans start to the quarter.
Doncic is a +21 already. – 11:21 PM

The Lakers tend not to play well on “LeBron milestone” games, but every time LeBron steps on the court, by definition, a milestone of sorts could be waiting. Tough dilemma. AK – 11:21 PM

LeBron James has scored over 50,000 points in the regular and postseason. No one will come close to his scoring record whenever he decides to retire. I’m not sure if anyone will top 40,000 points. Kobe Bryant had 39,283 when he retired and Michael Jordan had 38,279. – 10:57 PM

Off-ball LeBron? Today’s media scrutiny, have players forgotten how the media treated MJ in 93? The Cavs, KD/Tatum and more with my man @Travonne!

Lebron James is just one point shy of 50,000 career points (regular season and playoffs combined). Everything you need to know about LeBron’s historic milestone.

Gilbert Arenas: There’s only a few people in the GOAT debate. You’ve got to understand what a debate is. If there’s a number one, whoever number two is, unless he’s an active player, he’s not part of the GOAT debate because he has nothing else to gain. So if he didn’t overtake the person then he’s out actually out of the conversation. So there’s only a few people that’s still in the running for a debate: It’ll be LeBron James, it’ll be Stephen Curry, it’ll be Kevin Durant, it’ll be Giannis Antetokounmpo, it’ll be Nikola Jokic, right? They’re active. So because they’re active they’re still chasing something. Once you retire, if you didn’t do what you were supposed to, you can be part of a debate no more. -via YouTube / March 4, 2025
