Michael Jordan (MJ) 's record is over but the playoff (PO) goes away.
James scored 31 points (seven rebounds, seven assists) in the NBA's 2018-19 season with the Denver Nuggets.
James, who made his NBA debut in the Cleveland Cavaliers' uniforms in 2003 as a rookie draft overall, has been steadily raising his average of more than 20 points each year and has been playing a big role in the 'current legendary'.
He also has an average of 27 points, 8.7 rebounds and 8.0 assists this season.
James, who entered the pro in 2003, outpaced 32,292 Jordan with 32,011 points. James played 1190 games and 118 games more than Jordan (1072 games).
The NBA's top scorer was Kareem Abdul-Jabbar from 1969 to 1989, with 33,837 points. Karl Marlone (30,928) and Kobe Bryant (30,363).
James signed a four-year contract with Lakers last summer for $ 154 million. He had a brilliant career, including 14 All-Star games,
One page was added to the history of "Glory", including 4 regular MVPs (2009, 2010, 2012, 2013), 3 championship winners, 3 MVPs, and 15 consecutive years since 2005 .
Meanwhile, the Lakers lost 99-115 to Denver in the NBA regular season 2018-19 at the LA Staples Center.
Lakers fell to four straight loss, and the rightholder moved up to six games with the San Antonio Spurs. It seems to be moving away from the playoff competition. On the other hand, second-placed Denver flew out of a three-game losing streak and narrowed the ranks to one game with the first-ranked Golden State Warriors.
The Lakers, who have been in the swamp of four straight games loss, remain at the Western Conference 11 with 30 wins and 35 losses. The Los Angeles Clippers (37 wins, 29 losses) and the eighth place (6.5 games) are making the playoffs less likely.
It was not smooth from the start. The Lakers were on the verge of a one-quarter rebound fight and could not control Denver's even-scoring distribution, so they gave away the initiative early on. The Lakers had 43 runs in the first quarter.
The Lakers, who did not play back in the second quarter, chased after the third quarter. James steadily scored, and JaVale McGee teamed up with James and A layup dunk. At the end of the third quarter, the score was 77-85.
The Lakers chased James to the bottom of the fourth quarter, starting at 77-85.
James made a 83-87 layup with 10 minutes and 26 seconds left, and in the next attack he pulled Alex Caruso's two-point shot to the 85-87 lead.
But Denver went 3-for-5 with Gary Harris's three-point strike, leaving the pitch at 95-89 with 6 minutes and 50 seconds left.
James, who led the chase, lost 95-110 to go two minutes and 13 seconds before the game actually tilted.
The Lakers narrowly narrowed the gap to two points with James firepower until the early fourth quarter, but he could not do any better. In the middle of the fourth quarter, Gary Harris could not be blocked from inside and outside, and the gap widened again. Lakers, who missed Rim for a 3-point shootout, ended the game 16 points behind.
The Lakers have not reached the playoffs since the end of the 2012-13 season. There is a growing likelihood of the playoffs falling out of the sixth consecutive season.
Denver went 43-21 in the Western Conference with the Golden State Warriors (44-20) in one game. Nikola Jokic (12 points, 17 rebounds, 8 assists), who played in the triple double class, scored double-digit points to lead the victory.
