The 23-22 Los Angeles Lakers survived a retro Splash Brothers three-pointer on Saturday night to beat the Golden State Warriors 145-144 and double their .500 record.LA All-Star forward LeBron James led his club to a W. At 47:40, the league’s oldest player scored 36 points on 11-of-24 shooting (2-of-4 from deep) and 6-of-6 from the charity stripe, along with 20 points (!) and 12 rebounds .Assistance.
Klay Thompson may not reach the level of the five-time All-Star, but the veteran shooting guard could still have a big night. Thompson scored 24 points on 9-for-24 shooting, including 6-for-17 from deep, and also had four rebounds, four assists and two steals, numbers that would have been higher if not for the foul .After the game, James and Thompson had a special historic moment. Both future Hall of Famers have made exactly 2,350 3-pointers in their careers, seventh most in the league, ESPN SportsCenter explained on its Instagram account. There are many caveats to this fact.
First, James was in the league eight years before Thompson, so he has a huge advantage over a player six years younger, but while Thompson is known to be an elite shooter, James, in general , is not. Thompson would have ranked higher on the all-time list had he not missed both seasons with serious anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and Achilles tendon injuries. Still, it’s nice to see two veterans who have battled it out in four NBA Finals reach the same level in history.
Thompson is considered one of the best shooters in league history, and James is considered one of the tallest players in history. History of Gyeongju
